This week, I was honored to post again on Construction Law Musings, which you might recall is run by Christopher G. Hill who specializes in construction law. As an accredited LEED AP, he is also one of those rare individuals that not only deals with “Green Building” issues, but also understands it. I first met Chris on Twitter, when he was working for a larger law office. I have always had a good deal of respect for Chris because of the great advice and his sense of humor. With no further ado…
For this week’s Guest Post Friday here at Construction Law Musings, we would like to welcome back Sean Lintow Sr. Sean has over 20 years in the construction and project management fields and is a proud member of NARI, NADRA, USGBC, and NAHB. While he still specializes in Residential Remodeling & Custom Decks, the focus of his business is shifting to the “green” / energy efficiency markets and helping other builders & trade professionals to improve their methods. Currently he is RESNET Rater, AEE CEA (Certified Energy Auditor), ENERGY STAR partner & verifier, EPA Indoor airPLUS verifier, Level 2 Infrared Thermographer, Volunteer Energy Rater for Habitat for Humanity, and Builders Challenge Partner & Verifier. You may also want to check out his great resources on the HTRC (Homeowners & Trades Resource Center).

In regards to Quality Assurance, I would like to discuss one tool that we use not only in the residential arena but also in the commercial & industrial buildings – the Infrared (IR) Camera.
