Abstract
Methods and systems for evaluating a performance installment in a building construction include preparing a first image of the building construction, implementing the performance installment in the building construction, preparing a second image of the building construction subsequent to or during implementation of the performance installment, and evaluating the performance installment based on a comparison between the first image and the second image. Performance installments include weatherization measures such as the application of thermal insulation and air-sealing. Related methods and systems for calculating a performance plan for a building construction include transmitting analysis information to a processor, and determining the performance plan based on the analysis information. The analysis information may include a thermal signature, an airflow signature, an acoustic signature, or a vibrational signature.
