Drone Thermal Imaging Surveys

Thermal imaging cameras combined with drone technology are an ideal solution for detecting heat loss on residential, industrial or commercial roofs for pre-acquisition surveys, due diligence surveys, planned maintenance programs (PMP), dilapidation surveys or schedule of conditions.

Buildings, and the built environment in general, use a significant amount of energy to provide heat to occupants. Therefore, reducing energy demand in the built environment means that we must take action to reduce the amount of heat necessary for the building to function while also maintaining acceptable levels of thermal comfort.

One function of the building fabric is to retain this heat. Verification of the thermal performance of the building fabric is a crucial element to reducing energy wastage in buildings.

Thermal imaging surveys of existing buildings can identify where new insulation needs to be installed. It can also show sources of major air leakage and thermal bridges.

Drone thermal surveys or inspections can also be used to identify water leaks on roofs.
