Thermal Imaging and Building Inspections
Thermal Imaging has many applications and the construction industry is beginning to harness its potential by using it during both construction and renovation processes to find faults and to establish compatibility with environmental standards.
Roof inspections are a key component of this and the attachment of the thermal imaging camera to a drone or UAV makes these possible with minimal setup, safety risk, or danger of property damage. The drone can bear the camera over the roof (or series of roofs in the case of a larger property or housing development) and take both standard and thermal images to assess for damp ingress, flat roof leaks, and insulation performance amongst other things.
Heat loss through windows and walls can be similarly assessed through the thermal photography of the property elevations at any height without having to erect scaffolding or ladders and temperatures read to the exact degree where required.
These non-invasive techniques can be applied to a property or group of properties with minimal disruption and no downtime – in fact, it’s best if the assessment is carried out when everything is running at full capacity. Problems can be found without using invasive diagnostic techniques or even pinpointed before they have time to develop to save time, money, and inconvenience.
In Thermography what is the difference between Quantitative vs Qualitative analysis
Quantitative and qualitative thermography are two essential methods in thermal imaging analysis. Quantitative thermography measures exact temperature values, while qualitative thermography focuses on pattern recognition. Both play a crucial role in building inspections, electrical fault detection, and industrial diagnostics. Understanding their differences helps professionals choose the right approach for accurate thermal assessments.

English Gothic buildings of this design and using stone construction materials, suffer from significant internal pressure changes that create agressive air movement or draft. External stone staircases and tower blocks where built without cavities, single thin glazing in metal frames and overtime will create cracks and perferations in the building envelope, allowing convected air movement throughout. Planning consent restricts the options to retrofit insualtion, double glazing and heating systems so the net effect is these areas remain at a temperature consistent with the outside ambient temperature and are effectively creating cold thermal air bridges and reverse chimneys.
