Thermal imaging testing, sometimes referred to as thermal imaging surveys, can play an important role in being able to establish possible defects in a building, often at the very earliest of stages. These tests may be carried out at a similar time to air tightness testing or perhaps other acoustic test procedures being carried out.

The importance of a property’s roof and upper portions goes further than simply protecting occupants from rain and the elements on a basic level.

This can mean that the result of an air tightness test is affected by the roof.

BREEAM stands for ‘Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Methodology’ and is the methodology which sets the world standard for rating systems of building and works as an environmental assessment method. Acoustic testing companies (such as JosTec), work in cooperation with companies that provide BREEAM Assessments, to ensure that you can be safe in the knowledge that your building meets one of the comprehensive regulation and measures on a building’s environmental performance.
