The Green Initiative: Renovation of Older Buildings and Thermography

I love the old South. The historic brick buildings, the old wood homes with wraparound porches - there's a certain feel of nostalgia that is enchanting. I imagine the electric bills for those buildings are not quite so enchanting (to say nothing of the mold from moisture intrusion from leaky roofs or the the chill in the winter from old, damaged, and missing insulation!).

One of the goals of a pre-renovation inspection is to get a fast, reliable, cost-efficient and objective view of the building's thermal insulation. In order to detect weak points early during the renovation process, a thermal image evaluation allows you to quickly detect insulation faults and avoids expensive damages and loss of energy down the road.

A complete thermographic survey allows you to:

1. Assessing the thermal insulation of old buildings

2. Find and identify existing defects in window casings and joints

3. Find and identify missing or faulty insulation

4. Locate structural issues - missing mortar or bricks

5. Locate areas of moisture instrusion because of problems with the existing roof
