He has an associate’s degree in architectural engineering. Originally from upstate New York, he is most recently from Chicago before moving to the Atlanta area last year.

    Nice to meet you guys. You no doubt have lots of expertise. In spite of reading Energy Vanguard blog, I dont’ know what your company does. Explain. 
     
     
     
    Retrotec has been instrumental in developing pressure diagnostic equipment for the past 31 years and specialize in large buidling equipment. 90% of all UK buildings are tested with test fans we have designed for large buildings since the requirements are different. I spent over 2 years creating the first large building testing protocol for the US Army Corp which as a result is starting to go mainstream. Retrotec developed the first duct tester, the first gauge with built in controller along with many others. We are want to drive this industry forward and like your company’s approach and energy.

    Colin: Sorry to get to this a month late, but we do training (HERS, BPI, building science), quality assurance for HERS raters, architecture, HVAC design, and consulting. See the About Us section for more details. 
     
    I met you last year in Atlanta when I picked up a Blower Door simulator at the home inspector show. Will I see you in Austin for the RESNET conference next week?
