Infra Red Building Diagnostics

About Thermography

Routes of heatloss

Thermal imaging is the use of an infra red camera to see and measure thermal energy emitted from an object.

Thermal, or infrared energy, is light that is not visible because its wavelength is too long to be seen by the human eye. This energy, also called the electromagnetic spectrum, is what we perceive as heat.

Infrared building diagnostics utilises technology in order to produce images of heat radiation emitted from a building.

What can this diagnostic tell me about my home?

Detection of construction failures

Thermography is the quickest method to detect construction failures such as heat losses, humidity and air leaks that can be seen on the images instantly.

Detection of water leakage / mould


Water leakage in ceiling

Water leakages in the roof area contribute considerably to the heat loss of a building. If detected, tremendous savings can be made as a replacement of the whole roof can be avoided.

Moulds can be identified in the walls and ceiling, which are not only a danger to the building structure but also a risk for the health of its occupants.

Thermal bridges can be visualised through infrared building diagnostics which not only reduces the amount of heat lost – but also reduces condensation which can lead to mould.
