I will take your recommendation into consideration.

So what qualifications do you have to offer Thermal imaging services to your clients and to explain the results of your findings?

Regards,
Pat

Ask his Google & Yelp reviewers.

Hi Pat Happy New Year! :smiley:

Hi Marc!

Happy New Year!

45

An wards committee member that does not follow COE.
Too bad.
So sad.

Actually 3 jobs today alone from the overall assessment of all Google reviews. Today’s and prospective clients mention it.

Be happy to.
This is from Jim Seffrin’s monthly news letter.

I think Jim was making a point concerning the thread, but that is a presumption on my part.

Temperature measurement is recognized in many thermographic applications as a means for gauging the severity of exceptions. For infrared inspections of building envelopes, temperature measurement is frequently of little or no value and may serve to underestimate the severity of certain conditions.

Infrared inspections may be used to detect a wide variety of problems in building envelopes. These conditions include, but are not limited to: air leakage, missing or damaged insulation, latent moisture, and pest infestation. Since thermographic detection of these conditions is qualitative, temperature measurement is not required. In fact, there are no reliable means for correlating temperature with the severity of the aforementioned deficiencies. For latent moisture, there is no acceptable temperature limit or differential.

I use other equipment to measure MC, moisture content in objects.
2 moisture meters. Both manufactured by recognized industry leaders. DelMhorst Tech Check Plus and a Tramex MRH III Building Moisture & Humidity Meter.
Yourself Pat?

Although temperature measurements are frequently meaningless for building envelope inspections, many thermographers routinely include them in their reports. This practice can create unnecessary liability for a thermographer and damage his/her reputation should their work product ever be questioned. Presently, published thermography standards and accepted industry practice do not incorporate temperature measurement into building envelope inspections.

When faced with situations where non-contact temperature measurement is appropriate, thermographers should take steps to ensure accuracy. At a minimum, considerations should include equipment calibration, spot measurement size, target emittance, as well as local weather and site conditions.

Please tell the InterNachi members how Marc is breaking the COE with his statement.

You should not cut and paste and republish content from other people’s articles without permission. The appropriate thing to do would be to post a link to the article, not duplicate the article content.

I see no reference in the article to temperature delta/thermal contrast, which was the critical point of your earlier question. Rather, the article advises against publishing apparent temperatures for qualitative (i.e., non-quantitative) thermographic observations.

49

This is a copy and paste from someone else’s work, together with other filler.

Let’s ask the question one more time:

“So what qualifications do YOU (Not someone else’s article!) have to offer Thermal imaging services to your clients and to explain the results of your findings?”

50

Interesting how you always bring up the COE… Isn’t you giving your sign in creds to your buddy north of here very much against the rules?

51

Its a new letter.
Sorry Jim.

Trust me. I will not be posting anywhere near Thermal Imaging on the InterNACHI MB, and I highly doubt anyone will including Mr. Saffrin.

You are a case Mr. Evans.
Happy I choose to vote for DESERVING member.

52

Looks like the new round of meds has not kicked in yet

53

It’s another person’s copyrighted work.

It’s your choice, though it’s not necessary. You do need to learn that answering your question is not the equivalent of belittling you and that disagreeing with your statement is not equivalent to attacking you. There was nothing personalized in either of my posts that have apparently offended you.

54

Nothing to add to the thread?
Thought as much.

55

Another useless post by someone besides Robert

56

Thank you for confirming.

Thanks Jim!

Here is what I will do. I will call Jim later this week. I have Jim’s cell number. He offered it to me several days ago seeing the thread was going in the wrong direction.
Best I can do. Hope it meets your approval.

I beg to differ. Look who’s here.

It’s how you answer. I do not know WTH your talking about is not polite.
Best regards.

Here is an example of his reviews

Robert is impolite, rude and aggressive. He is not there for helping you. All he thinks about, is “money”. He charged me 632$ for a 2-hour inspection and after that, he did not even answer our questions about the inspection. He hung up me several times and also my aunt which is a very nice and respectful woman from Toronto. My aunt was so sad and chocked from his behaviour. His only reason for having such an arrogant attitude was that our English was not as well as him. So he interrupted my husband several times when he was trying to make him understand about his concerns and questions with his broken English. He told him impolitely : " Sorry! I cannot not understand you. I prefer to talk with your sweetheart. " My husband was so sad for two or three days. We had such a bad experience with him. His attitude with us was not professional at all. An incredible rude man!

Do InterNACHI Awards Committee members often collude with Retired OntarioACHI board of directors to defame an InterNACHI colleague?

How many have your broken this year alone Marc Goldenberg?
