Among many others, these can include:<br />
Continuity and condition of insulation<br />
Cold bridging<br />
Structural defects<br />
Hidden structures, services and past alterations<br />
Air leakage/infiltration<br />
Electrical, plumbing, heating, cooling and<br />
ventilation systems<br />
Damp and decay<br />
Moisture and air circulation<br />
Cleaning interventions<br />
Plaster and finishes delamination<br />
Blockages in flues and rainwater goods<br />
Quality of workmanship and material<br />
Having identified heat loss, bypass, drafts<br />
and defects, thermography can then be used to<br />
suggest solutions and highlight the advantages of<br />
taking action, among them:<br />
Demonstrating the improvements of a retrofit<br />
programme<br />
Substantiating insurance claims<br />
Communicating objectives to the workforce on<br />

Taking into account the full range of factors and<br />
parameters while recording thermal images and<br />
using other auxiliary data is obviously crucial for<br />
correct interpretation. This is why we at Eco Tiffin<br />
have been investing in thermal imaging equipment<br />
and infrared training for all our staff. This enhances<br />
our extensive CPD training in retrofitting older<br />
buildings and qualifying as retrofit coordinators<br />
for more than two decades now. We are firm<br />
believers in the ‘fabric first’ approach to building<br />
conservation and have found thermal imaging to be<br />
