Schools and Universities - The Time to Use Infrared is Now

Earlier this month, I wrote about my concerns about mold and mildew in the roofing materials and insulation in schools. Thermal scans can accurately detect areas of water intrusion, helping to save costs on remediation. It's not just our public school system that's in trouble, though.

Universities, often buildings built decades ago (or in some cases, buildings that are hundreds of years old - Harvard, for example, was established 1636!), may be notoriously energy inefficient. Buildings may be sitting on top of steam lines that are old and crumbling. Roofs may be disintegrating in areas, leading to potentially dangerous environments. The costs of heating and cooling buildings that are, shall we say, less than energy efficient, can be mind-boggling.

A relatively new form of infrared thermography, aerial imagery, offers several advantages to university school systems.Because we can take high-angle, straight down infrared images, we can capture large images at once, so we can see all of the building and "hot spots" in context. So - although might sound super expensive, the infrared report is actually less expensive to produce and more accurate than if a thermographer spent days walking the campus. Call me if you want to learn more or if you'd like a quote on aerial infrared thermography!
