Understanding Thermographic Inspection

What is a Thermographic Inspection?

Thermographic Inspection involves using infrared cameras to detect and visualise temperature variations on building surfaces.

This method helps uncover hidden issues such as insulation gaps, air leaks, and moisture buildup that may not be visible to the naked eye. This non-invasive technique causes no disruption to the overall structure, enabling developers and landlords to ensure their buildings are as energy efficient as possible.

Thermographic Inspections are essential for compliance with the latest energy performance and building standards. They check that your building’s external shell is performing as intended, detecting any issues that could contribute to energy inefficiency or pose safety risks. By identifying problem areas early, they can help you rectify issues before they escalate, saving you both time and money on repairs. If you’re working towards BREEAM certification, thermographic Inspections can also aid you in achieving vital credits for Man 04.

Our Thermographic Inspection service

The Encon Associates approach to Thermographic Inspections

We combine technical expertise with a deep understanding of UK building regulations to deliver precise, actionable Thermographic Assessments that can help enhance energy efficiency, ensure compliance with regulations, and support your wider sustainability goals.

Our thermal imaging surveys are useful for identifying potential site and material issues before construction is completed, helping to reduce risks and prevent costly delays. They can also evaluate the integrity of your building’s envelope by identifying areas of heat loss, air leaks, and moisture intrusion, ensuring your project meets the required energy efficiency standards.

We also complete post-construction Thermographic Inspections to verify that the building performs as intended by assessing insulation quality, detecting hidden defects, and confirming the building’s energy performance. We can identify and diagnose issues such as damp and electrical faults, providing actionable solutions that extend the lifespan of your building.

Thermographic Inspections are suitable for all types of buildings, including residential, commercial, and industrial properties. They are especially useful for large developments that are looking to improve their energy efficiency and comply with UK building regulations.
Although Thermographic Inspections are not mandatory for building regulations, they can help you comply with sustainability standards such as BREEAM, whilst also enhancing your quality assurance processes. They are often recommended for new builds and refurbishments that wish to maximise their energy performance.
Thermographic Inspections identify issues such as heat loss, air leakage, moisture buildup, poor insulation, and faulty electrical components. These insights can guide you on implementing suitable energy-saving measures or carrying out any necessary repairs.
The accuracy of Thermographic Inspections all depends on the provider and conditions. Expert thermographers who utilise the latest infrared imaging technology and carry out surveys during optimal conditions are more likely to produce precise, reliable results.
Thermographic Inspections help developers secure BREEAM Man 04 credits for commissioning and handover by verifying the thermal integrity of a building’s envelope and ensuring compliance with the latest energy efficiency standards.
