The Power of Building Thermography Surveys

Unlocking Energy Efficiency: Missing insulation detected by thermal imaging

Building 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.

Forest Canopy Survey Using Photogrammetry Techniques

Caterham School Photogrammetry of Forest Trees - Surveying for Chalara Fraxinea – Ash Dieback Last year, we were asked by Caterham School to survey and map their school forest known as Old Parks Wood. Ash trees within the wood were suffering from Chalara Fraxinea (Ash Dieback) a disease which has the potential to kill off 80% of the ash trees in the 45-acre wood and once dead, would quickly become dangerous to wildlife and other users of the woods, including the school pupils. The mission was to map the forest canopy by drone using photogrammetry survey techniques so that the school could get a full understanding of the degree of diseased trees that were present, and then subsequently put in place a management plan in conjunction with the Forestry Commission, Natural England and the local council. Project Background In 2014 the school had bought approximately 140 acres of Old Park Wood – partly to protect it from the threat of development but also to secure its long-term future as a bi...

The Role of Building Thermography in Eco-Friendly Practices

Guardians of Sustainability: The Role of Building Thermography in Eco-Friendly Practices Sustainability has become a central focus in the construction and maintenance of buildings, and building thermography emerges as a powerful ally in achieving eco-friendly practices. In this article, we delve into the transformative role of building thermography in promoting sustainability, from energy efficiency improvements to the identification of hidden environmental hazards. Building Thermography as an Environmental Watchdog Building thermography, leveraging infrared technology, acts as a vigilant guardian for sustainability in the construction industry. By capturing and visualising heat patterns, thermal imaging identifies areas of inefficiency and waste, guiding efforts to reduce a building’s carbon footprint. According to a report by the World Green Building Council, incorporating thermal imaging in construction projects can lead to an average reduction of 25-30% in energy consumption. Thi...
