The RedBeard Thermal Index™ (RTI) is our way of measuring how well your home resists unwanted heat.
Think of it as a report card for your home's thermal performance. A higher score means your home does a better job of keeping heat outside, while a lower score means excess heat is entering your home, forcing your air conditioner to work harder and reducing comfort.
During every Home Thermal Study™, we evaluate the major sources of heat gain, including:
-
Roof and attic temperatures
-
Insulation performance
-
Radiant heat transfer
-
Attic ventilation
-
Air leakage
-
Window heat gain
These measurements are combined into a single RTI score from 0–100, making it easy to understand your home's overall thermal performance.
RTI Score Guide
-
90–100: Excellent
-
80–89: Good
-
70–79: Fair
-
60–69: Poor
-
Below 60: Critical
The RTI helps homeowners understand why their home is hot before spending money on solutions. Instead of guessing, you'll know where heat is entering your home and which improvements will make the biggest difference.
The RedBeard Home Thermal Study™ is a comprehensive thermal inspection designed to identify why your home gets hot.
Instead of focusing only on your air conditioning system, we evaluate the entire home as a complete thermal system to find where unwanted heat is entering and what can be done to reduce it.
During your Home Thermal Study™, we inspect and measure:
-
Roof and attic temperatures
-
Insulation performance
-
Attic ventilation
-
Radiant heat transfer
-
Air leakage
-
Window heat gain
-
Interior hot spots using thermal imaging
After the inspection, you'll receive a professional report that includes your RedBeard Thermal Index™ (RTI) score, thermal images, key findings, and prioritized recommendations to improve your home's comfort and efficiency.
Our goal is simple: Find the heat. Explain the cause. Build a plan to fix it.
