Thermal Imagery Surveys
Staff and relevant workforce have installed a thermal imagery camera app on their smartphones and tablets. The purpose for this is to see where or if there is any heat loss coming from the building, the building is being heated inside with a temporary blow heater at present which is more than adequate to produce enough heat to see where it might be leaking round any doors, windows, roof/kit panel junctions, wall & roof penetrations etc.
This will help detect any substandard installation works early in the process and allow them to be addressed at time of discovery allowing the building to perform as designed reducing any impact on the environment.
Just the knowledge the thermal checks are being carried out has ensured the installation teams are taking more care with the install. This will also help then to achieve the required air tightness score in line with the design specification for the building’s EPC.
