Dear Alex:

Included is the report is our conclusion of the Electrical Inspect IR
that was performed at your location on the 31W By Pass in Bowling
Green KY.
Property Inspectir is proud to assist you in helping save down time
as well as reduce your energy costs.

This Electrical Inspect IR report is designed to be clear, easy to
understand and helpful. If there is anything you would like for our
Certified Thermographer to explain this report and provide pricing for a
store to store basis, or if there is other information you would like,
please feel free to call us 877-SCAN 447.

We thank you for the opportunity to be of service to you.

Sincerely,

J Harnage

Understanding Infrared Imagery and Thermography
General
This inspection report reflects the conditions of the property at the time of the survey
only. Hidden or concealed defects cannot be included in this report, therefore no warranty
is either expressed or implied, however an earnest effort was made to discover defects.
When an image is taken by our group of certified thermographers as an infrared image, it
is recorded on the internal memory of the processing equipment and later converted to a
digital image file with the assistance of a computer. The image may be then modified in a
number of ways to enhance its value to the end user. In the case of this report, the images
were digitized and then adjusted for contrast and brightness before being scaled and
placed into our custom program and later converted to this PDF file.

Analysis
Property Inspectir was contracted to find areas of potential electrical concern. Our
survey is an attempt to identify the potential issues within your electrical system. The
imaging service should be considered a valuable part of your overall predictive
maintenance program. Every attempt was made to image property according to the
ASTM C1060 standard; however, due to circumstances beyond our control this might not
have been possible. For example, weather conditions, inaccessible areas, furniture or
appliances that cover a given area.

Recommendations
Property Inspectir recommends all areas showing anomalies should be reviewed to find
out the cause and repaired. Our recommendations are not intended as criticisms of the
buildings electrical system, but rather as professional opinion regarding conditions that
we establish.
We are often asked how to prioritize the repairs and repair the areas that have been
identified in this report. Below, find the three categories:

 Conditions which affect performance and life safety issues (if any) are of course, of the
highest priority.

 Next are conditions that do not appear to pose any threat to the safety of the occupants
of the building, but that need repair because they create a condition that affects the
performance of the building or could deteriorate the building itself. Examples would be
items that appear to be critical with increased heat temperatures.

 Finally, lower priority conditions that have a low impact on performance of the thermal,
air and/or moisture barriers, but have reached the level of a reportable anomaly. These
should be evaluated to determine if it is cost-effective to conduct repairs.

Orientation
We will describe the locations of the various features of this panel, left or right, etc., as
though we were standing in street looking at the front of building.

Information Contained On the Thermographic Report Pages
Through the use of thermal imaging, we have found areas with anomalies. These
anomalies have been notated on the individual thermographic reports that follow
(typically, two per page). Infrared thermographs and visual photographs were taken
during survey. If we did not find a reportable anomaly, we did not create a thermographic
report.
Interpretation
When viewing IR images, anomalies commonly present where the conditions exist and/or
where our reference (arrows or area boxes) are located. When Electrical Inspect IR
images are taken we will commonly place them in Rainbow High Contrast for the best
viewing as well as understanding of the Thermal Image.
