Infrared Inspection

Infrared Inspection 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.

Moisture Detection

It is possible to detect moisture located behind interior walls and ceilings with an infrared camera, under the right conditions. The temperature difference created by the presence of moisture on the inside surface of a wall will appear differently than the surrounding area.

Flat Roof Inspection

The physics used for thermal roof inspections is that dry roof insulation heats up and cools down faster than wet roof insulation. Infrared inspection goes beyond simply finding a leak by locating the extent of the moisture invasion of the insulation. To do this we require solar heating of a sunny day. Then at night, after the sun goes down and the roof surface begins to cool, the dry roof insulation cools faster than wet roof insulation.

Energy Audit

Virtually anywhere in the building where there is a joint, junction or opening, there is potential for air leakage. With the use of the infrared camera, we can identify thermal irregularities on the building envelope and the thermal pattern discerning whether the pattern indicates a problem with the insulation, air leakage or the building structure. The pictures show insulation missing in attic above the ceiling, with a temperature difference of 15° between the two areas.
