Commercial Buildings

The most popular use of thermal imaging in commercial application is electrical evaluation.

Power distribution panels, over-current action devices, electrical conductors and electrical switch gear can be evaluated for imbalanced load, overloaded conductors and loose electrical connections. Cable tray systems can be evaluated and sources of inductive heating caused by phase separation can be located.

Other applications include HVAC performance, maintenance and efficiency. Motor performance evaluation. Building envelope evaluations addressing air infiltration/exfiltration and moisture intrusion. Roofing evaluations to determine leakage and location of moisture intrusion. Plumbing leaks and blockage. Insulated glass failure.

During initial construction, evaluation of construction practices can be verified and evaluated.

Installation voids, air leakage, structural defects, poor workmanship and moisture ingress are frequently located.
