BUILDING ENVELOPE INFRARED SURVEYS

FIND THERMAL PATTERNS ASSOCIATED WITH HEAT LOSS, AIR LEAKAGE AND MOISTURE

SEE HOW THE BUILDING ENVELOPE IS PERFORMING

Accurate Infrared uses thermography to evaluate how heat, air and moisture move through walls, ceilings, windows, doors and other building-envelope assemblies. Under suitable conditions, thermal patterns can reveal areas consistent with missing or damaged insulation, air leakage, thermal bridging and moisture intrusion.

We inspect commercial, institutional, industrial and residential buildings and coordinate with owners, facility teams, contractors and consultants. The goal is to help narrow the investigation, document suspect areas and guide the right follow-up work without unnecessary disruption.

ENERGY

Identify suspect insulation gaps, thermal bridges and air-leakage patterns that may affect comfort and operating cost.

MOISTURE

Locate thermal anomalies consistent with moisture for targeted investigation and verification.

DOCUMENTATION

Pair thermal and visual images with recognizable locations so repairs can be planned and checked.

FIELD EXAMPLES

Representative imagery from real field assignments. Client, vessel and location details are intentionally withheld.

WINDOW ASSEMBLY

Window and wall patterns can indicate heat transfer, air leakage or installation differences.

EXTERIOR CORNER

Corner and transition details often reveal conditions that are difficult to see with the naked eye.

COMMON BUILDING-ENVELOPE APPLICATIONS

• Missing, displaced or damaged insulation
• Air leakage around openings and transitions
• Thermal bridging and uneven wall performance
• Suspect moisture intrusion
• Post-construction quality reviews
• Repair verification and recurring problem areas

THE RIGHT CONDITIONS MAKE THE DIFFERENCE

Building-envelope thermography depends on an adequate indoor-to-outdoor temperature difference and a clear understanding of weather, solar loading, wind, interior conditions and construction materials. Surveys may be performed from the interior, exterior or both, depending on the question being investigated.

Infrared identifies thermal patterns; it does not by itself prove the cause of an anomaly. Moisture meters, destructive testing, pressure testing or review by the appropriate contractor or consultant may be recommended before repair decisions are made.

WHAT IS YOUR BUILDING TELLING YOU?

Tell us about the comfort, energy or moisture problem you are investigating and the conditions under which it occurs. We will recommend a practical survey approach.
