Thermal imaging is the use of a specialist infrared camera which detects infra-red radiation to find heat patterns.

GreenBuild performs infrared surveys most often to locate heat loss in buildings. This can be done using thermography alone to check the insulation of a building, or as part of a pressurisation test (blower door test) to find air infiltration locations.

Other building applications for thermography include locating leaks in flat roofs, leaks in underfloor heating, or finding the underfloor pipe-layout pattern to avoid damaging the pipes during works.

We offer several levels of service, from a simple walk around of your building, to a full and thorough inspection with detailed report.

Other uses for Thermal Imaging

Although we use it principally for examining buildings, thermal imaging may be used in a number of other applications, such as

• Veterinary applications. There are many ways to use thermography with animals, such as surveys of horses, greyhounds etc to ascertain injury locations, or preventatively to prevent possible problems arising. Saddle fitting is another useful application.

• Preventative maintenance on machinery or electrical equipment. Thermography allows non-destructive, non-touch ways of assessing the condition of equipment.

• Cold store problems - finds where the cold is escaping/heat entering in your cold stores.

If you are interested in Thermographic surveying for any of these areas, or if you have another application in mind, contact us to discuss the possibilities.
