Thermographic surveys can also be used to demonstrate compliance with Part L1 and L2 (2006 – current edition) of the Building Regulations.
These regulations require that both domestic residential and commercial properties be able to demonstrate the continuity of thermal insulation to the entire building envelope, thermal imaging can be used to show compliance with these requirements without having to open up or remove parts of the structure that may otherwise cause damage and delay.
Surveys can quickly and effectively detect areas of missing, moisture-laden or damaged insulation in walls, ceilings, floors, etc. This is particularly beneficial for buildings with poor energy ratings, where improvements can be focused on the most relevant areas.
