Infrared Thermal Imaging is a visual display of the amount of heat radiated from the different surfaces (or in other words the amount of infrared energy emitted), reflected or transmitted by objects. The thermal imaging camera is the most popular equipment for visual analysis and distinguishes between the electromagnetic energy radiated from objects within the infrared spectrum. The infrared spectrum is invisible to the human eye; however, the thermal imaging camera shifts this spectrum to a range that is visible to humans. This allows us to see and measure the temperature of the different surfaces.
Using thermal imaging technology in buildings and equipment allows us accurately to assess and locate insulation problems in the building. There are problems such as lack of insulation in the building envelope, water penetration sources, water leakage sources, electrical equipment, air leakage, or much more.
The building thermography process gives us the ability to identify the energy loss locations and their sources. Such sources can be missing or defective insulation, moisture penetration, air leaks, and thermal bridging. The data collected by the thermal imaging camera is not only the image itself, but other parameters that help the inspector analyze the information obtained for more accurate results. The Infrared Thermal Imaging Report provides you with comprehensive information about your building, detailed information about the potential problems, and suggestions for remedies. The report is prepared by a Certified Level 1 Thermographer.
