Thermal infrared imaging ("thermography") is another specialty service provided by Above All Aerial & Specialty Photography.

Infrared thermography is used for many applications, but the most common use is building inspections. A quick infrared scan of a building or home can reveal insulation defects, air leakage, and moisture infiltration - all of which result in wasted energy (and wasted money!). The energy cost savings realized by repairing the deficiencies that we find will more than pay for the cost of our service.

Below are some bullet points from an article on thermography by the U.S. Department of Energy. (Note that the article mainly deals with residential issues, but these points also apply to commercial buildings and businesses.)

  • Infrared images show where additional insulation is needed to seal air leaks into the building. (Read why this is important here.)
  • Infrared images serve as quality to control to ensure insulation has been installed correctly.
  • Thermographic scans of roofs can often detect roof leaks.
  • Quote: "In addition to using thermography during an energy assessment, you should have a scan done before purchasing a house; even new houses can have defects in their thermal envelopes."
  • Quote: "A thermographic scan performed by a certified technician is usually accurate enough to use as documentation in court proceedings."
