Introduction
In the quest for improving energy efficiency and reducing operational costs, thermal imaging surveys play a crucial role. At Scan Survey Ltd., our thermal imaging survey solutions provide in-depth insights into the thermal performance of buildings, helping identify energy inefficiencies and optimise performance. These surveys are essential for enhancing energy efficiency, managing energy costs, and ensuring compliance with energy regulations.
The Power of Thermal Imaging
Thermal imaging is a non-intrusive technique that uses infrared cameras to detect heat patterns and temperature variations on surfaces. This technology allows us to visualise heat loss, insulation deficiencies, and thermal bridges that are not visible to the naked eye. By capturing thermal data, we can provide a detailed assessment of a building’s energy performance, which is vital for identifying areas where improvements can be made.
Our Thermal Imaging Survey Process
Our thermal imaging surveys follow a meticulous process to ensure accurate and actionable results. We start by scheduling a survey at a time when thermal contrasts are most pronounced, such as during cold weather or when the building is in use. Our team then uses high-resolution infrared cameras to capture thermal images of the building’s exterior and interior surfaces.
The collected thermal images are analysed to detect anomalies such as heat loss, poor insulation, and air leaks. These issues are documented in a comprehensive report that includes thermal images, analysis, and recommendations for improving energy efficiency. Our reports are designed to provide clear, actionable insights that help you make informed decisions about energy upgrades and repairs.

Applications of Thermal Imaging Surveys
Thermal imaging surveys are highly versatile and can be applied to a variety of scenarios:
- Energy Audits
Identify areas of energy loss and inefficiency to optimise energy consumption and reduce costs. - Building Inspections
Detect hidden issues such as insulation defects, water leaks, and electrical faults that can impact energy performance. - Compliance
Ensure adherence to energy efficiency regulations and standards by providing detailed evidence of building performance. - Maintenance Planning
Plan and prioritise maintenance activities based on thermal performance data to address issues before they escalate. - Retrofit Projects
Assess the effectiveness of insulation and other energy-saving measures in existing buildings.
Case Study: Optimising Energy Efficiency in a Residential Building
In a recent project, Scan Survey Ltd. conducted a thermal imaging survey for a residential building to enhance its energy efficiency. The goal was to identify heat loss areas and evaluate the insulation system’s performance.
Our team carried out the thermal survey, capturing high-resolution thermal images of the building’s exterior, roof, and internal walls. The analysis uncovered significant heat loss in areas such as inadequately insulated walls and air leaks around windows and doors.
We delivered a comprehensive report detailing these issues and offered recommendations for improvements, including upgrading insulation and sealing air leaks. The survey insights allowed the client to make targeted enhancements, leading to reduced energy consumption and lower operational costs.
