Frequently asked questions
Does this apply to both residential and commercial?
The physics is shared; commercial sites add access, after-hours, and RFP requirements covered in our commercial Learning Center track.
Is this a substitute for a site visit?
No — it prepares you for a better diagnostic or estimate. On-site measurements still decide the scope.
