December 14, 2011 -  Infrared Building Inspections
 
Thermal Imaging is a valuable service for Commercial building owners, Industrial facility managers, and Learning institutions.  A properly trained thermographer can use a high quality thermal imager to locate excess energy loss.  Heat loss can occur due to missing or improperly installed insulation, air infiltration, failed window seals, etc.  These are all defects that can be detected with infrared thermal imaging along with careful analysis of the infrared data.
 
Thermal imaging is also useful for detecting thermal patterns that occur due to evaporative cooling from hidden moisture as a result of building envelope leaks or plumbing leaks.  Floor / water heating pipes can also be located and mapped and if there are leaks in the piping system they can be located as well.
 
Whether your commercial or industrial building concerns are related to heat loss or moisture or both, a company such as K5 Energy Technologies can provide valuable insight through an infrared inspection to help you focus repairs in the correct areas.
