What is Thermal Imaging?
Thermal imaging is used to identify
patterns of heat loss from your property that are invisible
to the
naked eye. Thermal imaging is conducted using a high tech infrared
camera. This camera
is
able to determine the pattern of heat loss through the fabric of the
building and heating systems.
Why use Blower Door/Air
Tightness testing and Thermal Imaging together?
Air tightness testing and thermal imaging complement each other.
Their combined use indicates
air
leakage within a property. Once these have been identified, solutions
can be decided upon
that
will increase the energy efficiency of your building, and save you money
over time.
What are the benefits of
Thermal Imaging?
- real time capture of heat loss.
- the ability to see things that are invisible to
the naked eye.
- highlights the extent of the heat loss- it does
not merely identify that heat loss is occurring, also indicates the level of
heat loss experienced.
- identifies defects that exist.
- money can be saved by dealing with the issues that are
identified by the thermal imaging report.
Where can Thermal Imaging find defects?
-
insulation defects in walls and
roofs.
-
air leakage around service pipes.
-
heat loss through un-insulated pipe
work.
-
defects in radiators and
under-floor heating.
-
energy wastage in electrical
appliances.
-
problems with ventilation and air
conditioning.
-
electrical problems.
