BUILDING HEAT LOSS

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Heat Patterns Reveal Hidden Losses:

Heat losses from buildings are exacerbated by structural problems, poor construction practices, missing or inadequate insulation, moisture infiltration and air leakage. Escaping heat creates a thermal signature that can be detected with infrared thermography. Our Certified Thermographers can complete data collection without disrupting your operations. From this data we produce a comprehensive report, providing the building owner with a wealth of detailed information about the locations, causes, and extent of problems in the building envelope.

Infrared Testing Guides Green Building Projects:

Infrared building envelope studies are the only proven, nondestructive and complete method for troubleshooting building heat loss and moisture problems. Building owners use envelope testing to save hundreds of millions of dollars every year by reducing energy and repair costs, evaluating construction quality and building performance, enhancing occupant comfort, health, and productivity, and improving the marketability of their properties.

The critical first step in any successful plan to reduce costs and improve business efficiency is an accurate assessment of the building’s current energy performance. We use cutting-edge thermographic technology to develop an accurate and detailed “big picture” of the facility’s thermal performance, so you can select the most appropriate and cost-effective strategies for repair and renovation. In addition, thermographic documentation of a building’s problems can help decision makers secure the finances and resources necessary to execute an effective plan.

An Infrared building envelope studies can help you:

  • Improve energy efficiency and cut costs
  • Achieve LEED ® certification
  • Identify sources of air and water infiltration
  • Plan cost-effective energy-saving retrofits
  • Prevent mold and structural damage
  • Pinpoint missing, damaged or wet insulation
  • Identify causes of frozen pipes and ice dams
  • Correct drafts, cold spots, and comfort issues
  • Verify construction materials & workmanship
  • Resolve post-construction disputes
