Thermography
Thermal imaging, also known as infrared thermography, can provide valuable information about construction details and building performance. As a non-destructive investigatory tool, a thermal imaging camera can quickly identify temperature variations across building surface areas, junctions and interfaces, highlighting heat transfer and anomalies in the construction.
Useful applications of thermography include heat loss surveys, identifying building defects, locating water ingress or excess moisture and locating voids or missing insulation. In addition to a building envelope assessment, thermography can be used to identify the risk of condensation as well as the performance and integrity of HVAC systems and electrical services.
Coupled with an airtightness test, thermal imaging surveys can clearly identify air infiltration and subsequent heat loss. By creating a pressure difference within a building, our ability to identify air leakage and draughts is greatly enhanced as indoor air is forced out and outside air is drawn in, creating a cooling effect on the building envelope.
