To prepare for an energy/heat loss interior thermal scan, the homeowner should take adequate steps to ensure accurate results.
The most accurate thermographic images usually occur when there is a large temperature difference (at least 10°C+) between inside and outside air temperatures.
In order to achieve the maximum benefit of your infrared inspection, please follow these important tips:
Clear all the homes exterior wall surfaces of any large pictures, wall hangings, furniture or appliances that are placed against the wall perimeter. Also, remove or raise any curtains or drapes if possible. |
| |
|
|
| |
| Don’t be concerned with any interior walls of your home as these walls are of no concern with regard to the thermal efficiency of the building.
Opening your cupboard or closet doors and conditioning this space will aid in the identification of any exterior wall anomalies within the cupboard or closet space. Make sure that the majority of your cupboard/closet walls are clearly visible to the IR camera. Any blocked areas could conceal hidden defects.
It's crucial to obtain adequate temperature differentials (Delta T) between the inside and outside air temperatures in order to obtain a perfect environment for infrared imaging. |

| Make sure that every external window and door is completely closed and every internal door is left open, also seal off any extractor fans in the kitchen and bathroom areas and close all window trickle vents before the infrared inspection takes place.
If the temperature differential is not adequate, turn thermostatic controls (Thermostat) on heating systems "HIGHER” to create the 10°C+ inside to outside temperature difference required to achieve effective results. If you are unable to obtain the adequate temperature differential between the inside and outside of your home, re-schedule the infrared inspection accordingly. |

In order to achieve the maximum benefit of your infrared inspection, please follow these important tips:
Exterior inspections can’t be carried out during a sunny day as the radiation emitted from the sun will affect the inspection results. |
| |
|
|
| |
| An exterior surface that has been exposed to the suns rays will need time to cool down otherwise inspections results will be inaccurate.
Exterior inspections must be carried out either early morning or evening time. Windy conditions, rain or frost will also compromise inspection results so it’s best to conduct the inspection when these conditions are not apparent.
