Infrared thermography is a key enabler in determining the quality of a building’s construction and identifying any shortcomings as a part of the dispute resolution process. Additionally, a thermographic building report can be used to gain one BREEAM credit.

Taking place at the Institution’s London HQ, this free half-day seminar will provide you with a thorough understanding of thermography, imaging techniques for non-destructive testing and practical guidance to make your results more accurate.

Presentations will include:

Highlighting the gap between ‘as-designed’ and ‘as-built’ buildings
The use of thermography to determine levels of human thermal comfort
The use of ‘Thermal Indexing’ to differentiate between defective construction and lifestyle choice in the elimination of damp and mold
Achieving CAA certification for the commercial use of UAVs (‘drones’) for remote access (roofs, valleys gutters and chimneys) thermography.
Attend this half day seminar to learn about:

Practical uses of thermography
Identification of typical defects
Examples of poor detailing in design
Damp and mould growth – construction or lifestyle?
Achieving CAA certification for commercial remote access thermographic surveys using Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs and Drones)

This seminar is free to attend and we look forward to welcoming you.
