Applications
The primary diagnostic procedure for determining the thermal performance of a
building envelope is infrared thermography. It can be used to identify
heating and cooling loss due to poor construction, missing or inadequate
insulation and moisture intrusion. Correcting the defects plays a
significant role in increasing building efficiency and structural integrity.
Thermography can identify surface temperature variations of the building
envelope, which relates to problems in the structure, thermal bridging, moisture
content and air leakage.
Common Building Diagnostics Applications Are:
- Roofing Surveys
- Detect wet insulation in flat-roof systems quickly and efficiently
- Energy Audits
- Perform infrared energy audits for residential and commercial
applications
- Moisture/Restoration
- Accurately detect moisture issues located behind exterior and interior
walls, in ceilings or under carpet covered floors
- Mold Remediation
- Control mold by finding unknown sources of moisture that would otherwise
go undetected. Infrared scanning is the fastest most efficient way to
provide 100% moisture detection coverage
