Long sunny days are ideal for identifying moisture trapped under a roof covering - dry and wet materials warm and cool at different rates, so the trick is to catch the anomaly during the transition. When equilibrium is reached again (either at start or end of day), everything looks the same again!

20% of oil & gas comes from a region now blocked off from exports due to US/ Iran war? Not a problem -we could readily reduce energy use in our buildings by more than that -possibly up to 40% - simply by checking they're built in accordance with current Building Regs. #drylining #buildingstandards

Every picture tells a story- Solid walls, 1950s solid radiator pipes, student halls, single glazing, no radiator valves-all or nothing! So windows open in February to purge heat. Radiator pipes so hot you can see them through the walls! #thermalsurveyscotland #airtestscotland www.ThermalimageUK.com
Heat loss from a wall recorded by thermal image. Solid wall, single glazing, no radiator controls. This is common in Glasgow, Edinburgh and across Scotland. No insulation in this image - thermography is the best tool to identify this heat loss

If you're waking up in a cold new house in Scotland this morning - contact www.ThermalimageUK.com Unsealed dry-lining is the #1 cause of heat loss in new homes in the UK. All the energy from Sizewell C will simply go to replace the excess energy lost from poorly built new homes.

In industrial/ commercial units, air tightness tests can fail not due to the building fabric, but due to leaky roller doors. Using retrotec fans (-ve pressure), and thermal imaging (and smoke - not shown) leakage points can readily be located. #airtightnesstestingscotland #blowerdoortestscotland
