Specifically, I work with churches in helping them to reach the least reached with the gospel message of my King Jesus.Past-Research Focus: Neil is nationally recognized for his expertise in the field of building science and duct system diagnostics. He has inspected miles of ductwork, repaired hundreds of square feet of unintentional openings, and tested close to a couple of thousand homes and hundreds of commercial buildings. Also, he has worked with numerous homeowners and builders, both residential and commercial, in finding solutions to indoor air quality and moisture problems. In addition, he has co-authored numerous scientific papers and articles relating to both commercial and residential building diagnostics and repair, with an emphasis on uncontrolled airflow and how it affects building performance. He has been a trainer for many utilities, and at the conferences organized by Energy Efficient Building Association (EEBA) and Affordable Comfort.Neil was a lead scientist in demonstrating the effect of duct leakage in Florida homes. Following the work quantifying the problem, Neil led the effort to find low-cost, reliable methods to test and identify leakage. He served as an instructor for FSEC's Duct Doctoring workshop that educated many contractors and utility representatives on how to diagnose and repair duct leakage.He has continued that training effort by educating Class I energy raters. Due to his and other FSEC staff members' work, the Florida energy code was changed in 2001 to reflect a default parameter of leaky ductwork, providing credit for systems that were tested to be quantitatively airtight.
