Infrared thermography can save building owners millions of dollars in overhead costs.
Infrared thermography, or thermal imaging, is a non-destructive means of scanning for moisture, missing insulation, wet insulation, leaks in flat roof systems, integrity of CMU or cement block wall construction and other building anomalies. The information provided by this type of building survey can be the difference between major repairs or replacement and surgical type repairs making infrared surveys one of the most important and powerful tools in your budget-cutting arsenal.
Through non-destructive means, infrared scanning can pinpoint moisture problems and areas where building heat loss is occurring. Cost savings are experienced by reducing energy costs, improving building occupant comfort and health, reducing potential structural damage caused by excess moisture, and reducing the size of routine maintenance and repair projects. (i.e.: section roof repair vs. full replacement)
The process used in the building envelope scan will help to identify heat losses from buildings and materials. Many times the cause for the heat loss can be a result of poor construction practices, missing or inadequate insulation, moisture infiltration and air leakage.
A thermal signature is detected via thermography. Problem areas can then be identified and addressed from the information presented in your report. Using this information, a corrective action plan can be implemented to address any issues based on the depth of the problem and extent of any resultant damage.
Information for compiling the report is collected routinely with little or no interruption of business and a report with recommendations is supplied (usually within 3 to 5 business days).
