INFRARED BUILDING SURVEYS - COMMERCIAL PROPERTIES
Modern thermal imaging techniques now allow large areas of buildings to be surveyed quickly, remotely and cost effectively. Improvements in camera and software technology, along with a greater understanding of building sciences, have revealed many additional applications within the construction industry. These include the verification of building performance and energy performance in both modern and old buildings.

MODERN BUILDINGS AND STRUCTURES
- De-lamination or de-bonding of rendering
- Location of wall, fixtures and structures
- Prioritising and documenting heat loss during energy audits
- Excessive energy us due to missing, damaged or wet insulation
- Insulation testing on new buildings
- Air leakage from building envelope and across thermal perimeter
- Moisture damage due to leaks or condensation in walls and roofs
- Identify sources of air and moisture intrusion
- Locating dew points in un-accessible places
- Detection of thermal bridges
- Under floor heating system inspections
- Sick building syndrome mold growth
HERITAGE BUILDINGS
- Bond between fascia layer and foundation level - wall paintings, mosaic, murals.
- Identifying unrecorded construction phases
- Detecting hidden structures - (in-filled windows, beams, hidden flues)
- Embedded services - hot or cold pipes - electrical services.
INFRARED BUILDING SURVEYS - HOUSES
Thermal Imaging Surveys are not however the exclusive domain of commercial properties. Structural problems, thermal bridging, air leakage and moisture content within private properties can easily be identified and corrective action taken before extensive damage or energy loss occurs. Having a Thermal Imaging Survey carried out on your home is the first step to increasing energy efficiency thereby saving money on energy bills. (There is little point in spending hundreds of pounds on double glazing when heat is being lost through other part of the building fabric). Analysis of the thermal images taken during a survey will show exactly where the heat is being lost.
Infrared Vision have produced an affordable audit procedure that will validate the thermal performance and improve the comfort and efficiency of our customer's homes. For more information click on the navigation button named Domestic Thermal Imaging Surveys.
