Have you noticed seasonal comfort issues (hot/cold spots, drafts, difficulty maintaining temperature)?
Please describe the specific comfort issues, including which rooms, seasons, and times of day they are most noticeable:
Have you previously conducted a professional energy audit or thermal imaging assessment?
Please provide audit date, key findings, and any recommendations implemented:
Please complete the table below for every room with windows or exterior doors. Each row represents one opening. For 'Opening Type', specify window position or door type. For 'Screen Status' and 'Air Draft Presence', select the option that best describes current condition. This data forms the foundation of your comfort optimization strategy.
