How do you envision technology impacting Electrical Superintendents in the next 5 years?
L. Keith Lofland: One of the growing trends in the inspection community is virtual inspections, where the inspector is off-site with someone (contractor, installer, homeowner, etc.) on-site with a camera feeding video back to the inspector.
