Thermal Imaging in the Building Industry

Thermal imaging can identify insufficient or missing insulation in roofs and external walls, check roofing systems and any ingress of water, locate leaks on plumbing and heating systems.

New building regulations which came into force on 1st April, 2002 state that:

"To avoid excessive thermal bridging, appropriate design details and fixings should be used... The person responsible for achieving compliance should (if suitably qualified) provide a certificate or declaration that the provisions meet the requirements of Part L2(a); or they should obtain a certificate or declaration to that effect from a suitably qualified person.

Such certificates or declarations would state:...

(b) that infra-red thermography inspections have shown that the insulation is reasonably continuous over the whole visible envelope. BRE Report 176 (A practical guide to infra-red thermography for building surveys) gives guidance on the use of thermography for building surveys."
