Predictive maintenance programs are vitally important in the area of building science in order to achieve greater energy efficiency, and worker and tenant safety and comfort. PdM inspections such as Infrared Thermography can pinpoint structural, moisture, electrical and mechanical problems invisible to the naked eye. Failing electrical or mechanical components and building materials, and moisture penetration can lead to potentially disastrous situations that building owners and insurance providers dread. Insurance providers are increasingly embracing and demanding thermographic inspections to obtain a clear picture of a building’s performance and liabilities that could lead to property damage, injury or, at worst, loss of life.
