The building envelope is regarded as the single most crucial aspect of a building. A defect or damage to any of the elements of a building envelope could irrevocably impact the structural integrity of your building. Infrared building envelope consulting can help you effectively spot and address these problems.
Founded in 1988, Infrared Consulting Services is a leading infrared testing services provider. Our testing services can be seamlessly used at several different stages be it protective testing, on-going maintenance-based testing or problem detection testing.
As opposed to conventional inspection methods, there are several advantages of opting for infrared-based building envelope inspection. Thermal imaging is an essentially non-invasive and non-destructive inspection method. When carrying out this inspection, the everyday activities and operating conditions of your building aren't interrupted or affected.
It makes use of temperature sensing scanners that are able to gather temperature signatures that lie well beyond the range of visible light. The data collated through infrared building envelope consulting can be effectively used for zeroing in on several problems.
These include:
- Air infiltration and exfiltration
- Moisture laden insulation or voids in insulation
- Moisture penetration into the wall assembly
- Heating and cooling problems
- Before acquiring real property
- Before making the final payment for a new construction to your building contractor
- As part of your building’s energy conservation plan
Thank you for sharing the information and I agree with this as building envelope have really a long term benefit as it is not only helping in maintaining the building from damaging but, it is also helping to improve the structural integrity of the building.
