1400 Page Heating Performance Survey Using Aerial And Ground Thermography Thermal IEC Building Inspection, On the Ground, From the Air and Internal It doesn’t matter how old a building is, there is always an opportunity to learn more about how to make it more habitable for the people who live and work there. We were recently asked to complete a full thermal survey of the Grade 1 listed building on the grounds of Salisbury Cathedral to look at the potential anomolies and faults present in the performance of the heating systems. Our survey used drones with thermal cameras for aerial roof and elevation inspections as well as ground based cameras for internal inspections. The data capture element took a week, with a further four weeks to complete our report of over 1400 pages, it was a truely interesting study!

18 Tesco Stores in three weeks We don’t usually complete many solar inspections in the month of September as it’s the start of autumn (the prime season for solar panel inspections of course is the long sunny days of summer).  However, the unseasonable recent sunshine across the UK over the past few weeks have offered the opportunity for us to complete as many as 20 commercial solar panel inspections across the UK in four weeks, we managed to complete 5 in a 24-hour period alone! To complete an IEC compliant solar photovoltaic panel inspection, the requirement is for a minimum of 600 watts per square meter of solar irradiation.  This is the reason that solar panel inspections are typically conducted from the late spring and throughout the summer in the UK. This year, we certainly cannot complain about the amount of sunshine we have had, in fact, it has been a record-breaking summer with temperatures exceeding 40°c for the first time. Normally we do not get to plan many solar pa...
