Is it possible that an owner doesn't want to know about building problems? Of course! Inspecting a building to determine its condition can have many implications.
In many cases, buildings are leased to another company. Tenants want the building to be energy efficient to reducing utility costs. However, if the building is not energy-efficient, it can be expensive to re-insulate the building or to fix air leaks. A building owner may not have any financial motivation to make expensive changes to make the building energy efficient since he/she is not responsible for the utility bills. On the other hand, if building energy costs are low, that can be to a building owner's advantage during a sales/rental negotiation.
Inspecting a building can sometimes uncover major problems - and once those problems are documented, they may require repair.
Infrared thermography is an easy and inexpensive way to document energy leaks or repair needs. For tenants or potential building buyers, it can be a way to make sure a building owner has done the necessary building upkeep and maintenance to make the financial investment a sound business deal.
