Thermal imaging for air tightness and energy efficiency are important quality control measures when building or renovating a home. Heat loss can account for up to 50% of total energy consumption in a building with causes ranging from air leakage through chimneys, attics, and wall vents to badly sealed doorways and failing argon gas windows to missing insulation.

Adequate air exchange is important for occupant comfort, health, and safety, but most buildings have a far higher rate of air leakage than necessary.

The root cause is often poor design and/or construction which allows air to leak in or out. Without thermal imaging, the source of these drafts can be extremely difficult to detect and visualize.

Missing insulation, HVAC air flow and equipment issues, attic venting, compromised roofing, and much more. By detecting and locating patterns and sources of heat loss that are invisible to the naked eye, thermal images provide convincing evidence in reports where improvements need to be made and how well they’ve been completed.
