Infra Red Thermography
IR Surveys
Thermographic surveys of buildings can quickly identify areas of high heat loss,
which can be the result of poor insulation continuity or air leakage. Surveys can be undertaken to assess the workmanship in the installation of the thermal elements of a building, and to assess failures in the thermal performance, which may be associated with moisture ingress. These qualitative surveys can result
in savings on energy bills and prevent expensive repairs.
Thermographic surveys are often useful prior to undertaking refurbishment on
existing buildings. Areas of poor/missing insulation can be identified, allowing
targeted improvement works. The survey will also highlight areas of thermal
bridging ñ areas where heat escapes at a higher rate ñ that may be improved
as part of the thermal upgrading works.
