Unlocking Energy Efficiency: Missing insulation detected by thermal imagingBuilding thermography surveys, also known as thermal imaging or infrared inspections, are non-invasive diagnostic techniques that use infrared cameras to detect thermal energy emitted from an object’s surface. This technology allows for the visualisation of temperature variations, which can be indicative of potential issues within a building’s structure. These issues may include heat loss, moisture intrusion, electrical faults, and insulation deficiencies, among others.Thermography surveys are a powerful tool in the property maintenance and building industry, providing a comprehensive picture of a building’s thermal performance. They are typically conducted by trained professional thermographers who interpret the thermal images and provide detailed reports on the findings. These reports can then be used to identify areas of concern and prioritise remedial actions.The use of thermography in building surveys is not a new concept. However, with the increasing focus on energy efficiency and sustainability, its importance has been magnified. It has been estimated that buildings account for about 40% of the nation’s total energy consumption. Therefore, improving the energy efficiency of buildings can significantly reduce overall energy use and associated carbon emissions.Read more...#Insulationdeficiency #ThermalBuildingInspection #ThermalBuildingSurvey #Thermography
