Thermographic Scan
(Infrared Inspections) is rapidly becoming a key need for building
inspections. With the proper tools and training, building thermographic scan
inspectors can practically eliminate energy loss due to inefficient or poor
insulation/ construction.
Additionally by using IR
cameras, we can spot water leaks, mold, pests, electrical hazards, and help
to prevent such problems from escalating into costly repairs. Infrared
inspections can help reduce the carbon footprint of your building, helping
not only the environment, but reducing energy costs while increasing safety,
productivity, and energy efficiency. Currently, buildings in Canada
represent up to 70% of electrical consumption and generate over 30% of the
nation's carbon emissions.
Any new environmental plan will
definitely include a reduction in carbon emissions. This means that now is
an excellent time to get involved in infrared building inspections. With the
global concern over environmental changes, energy efficiency thermographic
scan is well on its way to becoming the method tool of choice for all
buildings.

Infrared thermography is
the most economical way to discover construction failures and to
communicate them.
Infrared cameras contribute to :
• Checking
repair quality
•
Detecting long-time construction damages
• Detecting and preventing mold and decay
• Preventing formation of condensation
• Reventing humidity intrusion in building
• Reducing heating costs
• Preserving the building substance
• Supporting contractors in warranty claims

Why thermographic Scan?
• High Energy Bills - often high utility bills can be traced to air leaks, inefficient windows, missing insulation, inefficient cooling/heating equipment, and/or poorly insulated ducts.
• Mold & Mildew - High humidity and water damage can lead to mold and/or mildew resulting in wood rot, various structure damage and health problems
• Dust - Poorly sealed duct work can result in high levels of dust.
• Cold or Hot Rooms - differences in temperature from room to room can signify inadequate insulation, air leaks, and/or poor duct insulation.
• Medical costs by reducing indoor allergens, dust, mold, mildew, and pests. This in turn can increase productivity.
• Energy efficient buildings reduce our reliance on foreign natural gas and other fuels, while saving money and promoting local economic growth.

Clearly reflected in this
thermographic Scan the cold air infiltration. By fixing this air
leak our client save 25% in heating cost at rear swimming pool
room.

This is not a window, this is a
missing insulation in were suppose to be a window, the design
change and the contractor just cover the space with the wall.
This thermographic scan reveals this deficiency that causes a
massive of heat loss. By fixing this failure insulation this
home owner save 30% of heating cost (Calculated for this room)
