-
A residential thermal imaging survey uses specialist infrared imaging equipment to identify temperature variations within a building. The survey can help identify heat loss, thermal bridging, insulation defects, air leakage pathways, and other building performance issues.
-
Thermal imaging can assist with identifying heat loss areas, missing or defective insulation, thermal bridges, air leakage locations, moisture-related anomalies, and building fabric performance issues. Findings should always be interpreted alongside a physical building assessment.
-
Thermal imaging surveys are commonly undertaken during property investigations, retrofit planning, defect diagnosis, energy performance evaluations, and post-construction performance reviews. Suitable temperature conditions are generally required to achieve reliable results.
-
Yes. Thermal imaging can help identify areas where heat is escaping through walls, roofs, floors, windows, doors, and other building elements. This information can support targeted energy performance improvements.
Residential Thermal Imaging FAQs
-
Thermal imaging can assist with identifying temperature patterns that may indicate moisture-related issues. However, thermal imaging alone does not confirm the presence of moisture and may require further investigation using appropriate diagnostic methods.
-
Yes. Thermal imaging can help establish a baseline understanding of building performance before retrofit works commence. The information gathered can assist with identifying priority areas for improvement and informing retrofit decision-making.
-
Access to all reasonably accessible areas can improve the completeness of a thermal imaging assessment. Survey scope may vary depending on property layout, occupancy, safety considerations, and project objectives.
-
Survey duration depends on property size, complexity, and the scope of the investigation. Most residential thermal imaging surveys can typically be completed during a single site visit, with reporting completed thereafter.
