Thermal imaging is a non-invasive diagnostic method that uses object surface temperature to detect a wide range of issues. The infrared radiation emitted from an object is recorded and displayed in the form of a temperature distribution map.
The resulting thermal image, sometimes called a thermogram, can be used for a wide variety of uses, from finding electrical faults in a building to detecting physiological changes in humans and animals. Below we’ll focus on thermal imaging for building inspections, looking at what can be diagnosed using it and the benefits of doing so.
Thermal imaging is a quick and highly effective way of monitoring and diagnosing the condition of buildings. It’s so valuable because it can identify problems that would otherwise be difficult to find and can detect them early, ensuring bigger problems don’t arise.
There are a multitude of benefits to using thermal imaging for diagnosis, condition monitoring and predictive maintenance :
●No disruption to normal business operations in commercial building inspections
●Streamlines predictive maintenance inspections
●Enables intrusive maintenance to be planned at a convenient time
●Minimal downtime due to efficient and non-invasive nature
●Saves costs by preventing a bigger problem
●Highly accurate and fast diagnosis
●Reduces the risk of safety issues
Both domestic and commercial clients can benefit from a thermal imaging diagnosis, particularly when trained electricians use the technology to look for electrical faults. Comprehensive colour reports can be provided, and a full repair can be carried out.
