What is building envelope thermal audits?
A thermal building envelope audit uses a radiometric infrared drone camera to show where heat escapes through walls, windows, roofs and joints. Prairie winters create the temperature difference needed for clear results, helping owners target energy upgrades.
Benefits
- Pinpoints heat loss
- Targets energy retrofit dollars
- Finds air leaks at joints
- Whole-building view
How it works
- [ 01 ]Schedule on a cold, calm evening
- [ 02 ]Interior heat confirmed
- [ 03 ]Full-elevation thermal flights
- [ 04 ]Annotated thermal report
