Wisconsin Thermal Camera Energy Assessments


Thermal Infrared Camera Inspections

Thermal infrared cameras are rapidly becoming the high-tech standard for identifying specific areas where energy is being wasted at your facility on a daily basis. The benefits of thermal infrared inspections extend beyond the building envelope and help spot inefficient equipment, water leaks, mold, electric hazards and many other hidden problems.

Examples of how thermal infrared camera inspection can be used to help your facility save energy and money include:

  • Identify gaps and cracks in a building’s envelope where heat is escaping (winter) or infiltrating (summer).
  • Identify areas in the building envelope where insulation is missing or inadequate.
  • Identify which electric devices (such as motors) are running hot and are in need of maintenance.
  • Identify whether steam traps are operating inefficiently and are in need of maintenance.
  • Identify areas where piping insulation (hot water, steam or refrigerant) has deteriorated.
Using this new technology and working closely with facility maintenance staff, these inspections, together with the appropriate remedial actions, can help reduce energy costs while increasing safety and productivity by preventing problems from escalating into more costly repairs.
