Thermal Imaging Surveys
Thermal Imaging Surveys are produced with temperature monitoring technology to assess the energy efficiency and performance of buildings. Often they are conducted to ensure compliance with energy efficiencyregulations.
What are Thermal Imaging Surveys?
During a thermal imaging survey, a qualified professional uses a thermal camera to capture images of a building's exterior and interior, recording the surface temperature.
The camera detects and visualizes differences in temperature across surfaces, indicating areas of heat loss or gain. By analysing these images, experts can identify potential issues with insulation, air leakage, or inefficient heating and cooling systems.
Why Are Thermal Imaging Surveys Required?
Thermal imaging surveys are required to identify potential problems and improve energy efficiency in buildings - vitally, detecting anomalies that are invisible to the naked eye.
Thermal imaging surveys can detect hot spots in electrical systems, which could indicate a potential fire hazard. They can also identify areas of heat loss in a building envelope, which could be costing the building owner money in energy bills.
Helping You Reach Compliance
In addition to identifying potential problems, thermal imaging surveys can also be used to comply with regulatory requirements.
The Energy Performance of Buildings Regulations 2012 requires that all non-domestic buildings have an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) that includes recommendations for improving energy efficiency. Thermal imaging surveys can provide valuable information for improving the energy efficiency of a building, which can be included in the EPC.
How Can Thermal Imaging Surveys Benefit You?
Thermal Imaging Surveys bring a host of benefits to your business, with the potential to discover hidden flaws, pre-empt hazards, reduce overheads and help you reach regulatory compliance.
Compliance With Regulations: Thermal imaging surveys can provide valuable information for complying with regulatory requirements, including the Energy Performance of Buildings Regulations 2012.
Cost Savings: By identifying potential problems and recommending improvements, thermal imaging surveys can save building owners money on repairs and energy bills.
Increased Energy Efficiency: Thermal imaging surveys can identify areas of heat loss in a building envelope and recommend improvements, which can reduce energy bills and improve comfort levels for occupants.
Improved Safety: Thermal imaging surveys can detect potential safety hazards in electrical and mechanical systems, reducing the risk of accidents and fires.
