admirable. To learn more and to source their products, go to www.plyboo.com:

Thermal Insight uses the technology of thermal lighting to see and measure thermal energy, or heat in
homes, through infrared light. The light can then let the human eye see if your home is lacking
insulation, construction defects, electrical problems, moisture intrusion, and plumbing, roof and water
leaks. By then identifying and fixing these problems, homeowners can save thousands on utility bills
and energy expenditure, and correct home construction defects.
