IRT Surveys, reportedly Europe’s leading infrared specialist, has used its ‘unique’ thermal imaging approach to assess hundreds of NHS properties UK-wide.
By supplementing this with ‘groundbreaking’ electronic leak detection technology, the company says it can provide ‘highly visual’ evidence of all hidden defects, ‘big or small’, across an entire building, including the roof. The company said: “Meanwhile, our patented Envision software quantifies energy loss revealed in thermal images in monetary terms, allowing clients to see precisely how much money they are losing from troublesome areas in their properties. “As capturing the images is quick and completely non-destructive, we can gain a holistic view of a property’s performance without disrupting day-today operations. Our quantified reports break down the key areas of concern, and reveal the extent of short and longterm savings for specific refurbishments. Clients can also upload their images to our Carbon Dashboard, an interactive dynamic simulation tool, and experiment in real-time with changes to the building fabric.”
