Infrared Thermography for New Construction

A Powerful Tool for Locating Missing/Improperly Installed Insulation and Air Leakage

Understanding Infrared Thermography:

Infrared thermography is a non-invasive and highly effective diagnostic technique that utilizes thermal imaging cameras to detect and visualize temperature differences on the surface of objects. By employing infrared thermography, we can precisely locate insulation issues and air leakage in new construction, ensuring optimal energy performance and occupant comfort.

Locating Missing or Improperly Installed Insulation:

Proper insulation is crucial for energy efficiency and maintaining a comfortable indoor environment. Unfortunately, errors or omissions in insulation installation can occur during new construction projects, compromising thermal performance. Using infrared thermography, our skilled inspectors can identify areas with missing, damaged, or improperly installed insulation by detecting temperature variations along building surfaces. This allows us to pinpoint specific areas requiring attention, enabling prompt corrective action and ensuring efficient insulation throughout your building.

Detecting Air Leakage:

Air leakage can significantly impact a building's energy efficiency and occupant comfort. Identifying and addressing air leakage in new construction is vital. Infrared thermography is a valuable tool for detecting air leakage by visualizing temperature differences caused by air infiltration or exfiltration. By capturing thermal images, we can identify areas where air leakage is occurring, enabling targeted sealing and insulation improvements to enhance energy performance and minimize unnecessary heat loss or gain.

Advantages of Infrared Thermography for New Construction Inspections:

  1. Non-Destructive: Infrared thermography is a non-destructive inspection technique, preserving the integrity of your building during the assessment. This allows for thorough inspections without causing disruptions or delays in the construction process.
  2. Time Efficiency: Infrared thermography inspections are quick and efficient, providing immediate results. Our inspectors can swiftly scan large areas, identifying insulation gaps and air leakage points, facilitating timely corrective measures and ensuring the project stays on schedule.
  3. Comprehensive Coverage: With infrared thermography, our inspectors can examine the entire building envelope, including walls, ceilings, roofs, and windows, for insulation and air leakage issues. This comprehensive coverage ensures that potential problem areas are not overlooked, maximizing the effectiveness of the inspection.
  4. Visual Documentation: Thermal images obtained during infrared inspections serve as valuable visual documentation. These images clearly highlight identified issues, allowing for effective communication with construction teams. Additionally, they can be used as reference material for future assessments or comparisons, aiding in long-term maintenance and improvement efforts.
