Going Green? Think Red…Infrared!
Thermal infrared imaging has become an extremely valuable tool for improving the energy efficiency of both residential and commercial buildings. The infrared camera displays heat as a visual image, making it easy to see where energy is being wasted. Infrared can find problems behind walls and inside areas that normally cannot be seen without tearing down walls!
Our infrared testing service provides a detailed look at the energy leakage in a home or commercial property. The entire building is examined using a state-of-the-art, infrared imaging camera to pinpoint air leakage, missing insulation, or poorly insulated areas in floors, ceilings and walls. Our examiner will give you a detailed written report that shows where problems were found, along with recommendations on what should be done to address each issue.
Thermal infrared imaging can help detect several common energy problems:
Insulation defects.
Proper insulation in buildings is an important factor to achieving thermal comfort for its occupants. Insulation reduces unwanted heat loss or gain and can decrease the energy demands of heating and cooling systems. If insulation is missing or not installed properly, more energy must be used to keep you comfortable. In severe cases of underinsulation, it might become difficult or impossible to keep a building or specific area the proper temperature.
Air leakage
Air leakage is another major problem that infrared imaging can detect. This happens when outside air enters a house uncontrollably through cracks and openings. Properly sealing such cracks and openings in your home can significantly reduce heating and cooling costs, improve building durability, and create a healthier indoor environment.
