Internal Building Inspection saves on Energy Bills

Requirement:

A large manufacturing company found that their heating and energy bills were larger than expected, and asked Metrum to inspect their premises using Infrared Thermography.  This method is non-invasive and allowed the inspection to proceed without requiring the costly shut down of the plant.

Solution:

Investigation using the NEC TH7102MV Thermal camera found that the insulation between the staircases and the production area was defective and that as a result cold air was circulating around the stairwells.  These cold areas which are indicated by the blue colour on the thermal image below meant that more heating was being applied to the warehouse working area and as a result the energy bill was increasing.  The TH7102MV camera found the cold areas of the surrounding walls very quickly

Outcome:

A report showing both digital and thermal images and recommendations was issued to the Chief Engineer to enable corrective work to be instigated.
