The Inspection Group Tests Google Glass for Housing Inspections and other Building-Related Data Collection Activities











Matt LaVrar, VP-Inspection Services

Columbus, OH (PRWEB) April 21, 2014

The Inspection Group, Inc. (TIG), one of the nation’s leading field data collection, analysis, and reporting companies for the Public and Affordable Housing Industry, is field-testing Google Glass through the Google Glass Explorer Program as a reporting and analysis aid for conducting Uniform Physical Condition Standards (UPCS) inspections and Housing Quality Standards (HQS) inspections of residential properties receiving Federal subsidies in conjunction with its InspectUS™ software for inspections. TIG Glass™, a mini-computer that pairs with Android™ devices via Bluetooth™ technology, is currently beta-testing, with an anticipated national release date, early first quarter of 2015.

Housing programs receiving Federal subsidies include Public Housing properties, Housing Choice Voucher Programs, Low Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) and USDA-Rural Development programs.

Saul Himelstein, President/CEO of TIG, speaking about the Google Glass beta test, said: “The Inspection Group, for over 15 years, has focused on delivering to our clients the very best field data collection, analysis, and reporting services at the lowest possible cost consistent with our quality standards for inspections and reporting. We are mindful that, in many cases, we are evaluating properties supported by taxpayer dollars and that everything we do to ensure safe, decent, and sanitary homes at the lowest possible cost for publicly-assisted housing redounds to the benefit not only of the residents but of the entire community. The best way for us to do that is to promptly adopt new technologies that we believe, after careful evaluation and field testing, can improve our efficiency and productivity. TIG has always done this. TIG developed InspectUS™ inspection software, in partnership with Quick Solutions, Inc. (QSI) as a tablet-based tool. We are now testing Google Glass in cooperation with QSI and Ameresco. TIG views Google Glass as promising another great leap forward in our ability to provide the best, most accurate documentation of inspections in the least possible time when combined with our InspectUS™ Inspection Software for Housing and the Physical Needs Assessment data collection tool iAuditor™ from Ameresco.
