That's a nice picture, but could you embed a smaller picture next time?  This one's 3.2 MB 
so the whole e-mail is 4.4 MB.

> Learning objectives
> #1 Locate leakage paths in multi-family individual units
> #2 Automatically Test multi-family units with limited access.
> #3 Novel ways of testing parts of multi-family and large buildings.
> #4 Understanding test results from software.
> #5 Confirm Quality Control and test results remotely.
