 * Excessive amount of icicles shows clearly there are extremely large flaws in the thermal envelope
 * Building is so poorly insulated and air sealed that the programmable thermostats could not function properly
 * Boiler operates at around 82% efficiency (much efficiency is lost in the exhaust from the internal combustion chamber to outside air)
 * Possibly need for storm windows
 * Large need for vestibule installation at front entryway

Next steps:
 * A more in depth audit with blower door and infrared
 * We must locate exact problem areas in the thermal envelope
 * Decide what type of insulation is necessary for which parts of the building
 * Asess problem windows
 * Assess any moisture issues


 * Create plan of proposed upgrades
 * Organized by price and time frame
 * ex. weather stripping front door = 10-20 minutes
 * ex. building vestibule for front entry = 1-3 days
 * Determine allowed budget and finalize which upgrades will be carried out
