Thermal imaging allows you to verify the thermal performance of structures. It also helps you identify any issues that have arisen after construction. Within a week of the inspection, you’ll receive a report with clear recommendations for action. We offer flexible thermal imaging services for both buildings under construction and occupied properties.

More information about thermal imaging
Examples of applications for thermal imaging
Quality assurance for new construction: Ensuring that the building meets Housing Health Regulation recommendations
Assessment of repair needs: Determine to what extent the building does not meet Housing Health Regulation recommendations and repair those parts
Preliminary assessment of waterproofing repairs: Identify which areas need to be waterproofed
Quality assurance for seal repairs: Verifying that the sealing work has been performed correctly
Initial assessment for an energy retrofit: Identifying heat loss through the building envelope
Identifying insulation defects: Check whether the insulation is evenly distributed throughout the structure and whether it is missing entirely in some areas
Inspecting for moisture and mold damage
Identifying Building Systems Failures
Locating heating pipes with a thermal imaging camera
Thermal imaging can be performed in three different ways
Thermal imaging in a vacuum
Thermal imaging under normal conditions
2-step thermal imaging
Thermal imaging is performed under negative pressure. Negative pressure is created either by using a range hood or a separate pressure door.
Thermal imaging is performed under normal atmospheric pressure conditions in the building.
Thermal imaging is first performed under normal pressure conditions inside the building and then under negative pressure during the same inspection. Negative pressure is created either by using a range hood or a separate pressure door.
Let's locate the air leaks in the building's exterior envelope.
We will identify heat and air leaks in the building envelope.
Identify heat and air leaks in the building envelope and distinguish thermal bridges from air leaks.
No temperature indices are defined.
Temperature indices will be calculated for the leaks that have been identified in order to determine whether the building complies with the recommendations of the Housing Health Regulation regarding surface temperatures.
Used to locate leaks prior to sealing, to verify the quality of seals, and to verify the quality of new buildings during airtightness testing.
It is used for quality control in new construction projects and for assessing renovation sites when energy-efficiency or heating upgrades are planned.
Used in the assessment of renovation sites to accurately identify thermal bridges in structures.
Requires a temperature difference of at least approximately 5 degrees between the indoor and outdoor air.
Requires a temperature difference of at least 15 degrees between the indoor and outdoor air.
The temperature index indicates whether a building meets the recommendations of the Housing Health Regulation
In thermal imaging, a temperature index is typically determined. It indicates the temperature of the interior surface relative to the temperatures of the outside and inside air. The formula for calculating the temperature index is:
Temperature index = (Internal surface temperature – Outdoor air temperature) / (Indoor air temperature – Outdoor air temperature) × 100 % + pressure correction
Pressure correction is performed when the vacuum is between 5 and 15, in which case 0.5 is added to the temperature index for every 5 pascals of vacuum exceeding that range.
Thermal imaging requires a 15-degree temperature difference between indoor and outdoor temperatures in order to determine temperature indices. However, thermal imaging can be used even in the warmest weather. Thermal imaging performed under negative pressure can detect air leaks even with a temperature difference of approximately 5 degrees. In this case, smaller leaks may no longer be detectable, but significant leaks will still be found. Thermal imaging can also be performed under normal pressure conditions in warmer weather if, for example, you want to check for insulation defects.
