How often should a school, hospital, or government building be inspected?
Most institutional facilities benefit from an annual inspection, with critical facilities like hospitals often scanning high-priority systems, such as backup power and life-safety electrical, more frequently.
Will this disrupt operations in an occupied facility?
No. Infrared thermography is performed on live, energized systems, allowing hospitals, schools, and government buildings to remain fully operational during the inspection.
Can this support our accreditation or compliance requirements?
Yes. Reports document electrical condition with thermal images and risk ratings, which many facilities use as part of accreditation reviews and compliance documentation.
Do you inspect backup power and emergency systems specifically?
Yes. Backup generators, transfer switches, and emergency/life-safety electrical systems are included as part of a full facility inspection, given their critical role when primary power fails.
Can this help justify capital planning budgets?
Yes. A documented inspection history with risk ratings gives facilities managers evidence to prioritize and justify electrical upgrade requests within municipal or institutional capital budgets.
Do you work with school boards or facilities managing multiple sites?
Yes. We coordinate multi-site inspection programs for school boards, hospital networks, and municipalities, with standardized reporting across every location.
Are your technicians cleared to work in sensitive or secure facilities?
IRIS PDM technicians are certified thermographers and ESA-certified electrical contractors experienced working in institutional and government environments; specific site clearance requirements can be discussed ahead of scheduling.
Do you serve institutional facilities outside major cities?
Yes. IRIS PDM provides institutional and government facility thermal imaging across Ontario and Canada, with regional teams available for on-site inspections.
