Infrared Camera Thermal Imaging

meet with our professional experts

With thermal imaging, an infrared camera identifies building envelope deficiencies from top to bottom. An infrared camera for thermal imaging is recognized as one of the premium methods for detecting air and moisture leakage problems in buildings with state-of-the-art diagnostics. Damaged or inadequate insulation can be readily identified. Air leaks and moisture intrusion in the building envelope are easily detected. And pockets of sub-standard workmanship are accurately pinpointed. All of these are costly to both commercial and residential building owners.
Our team member at CEI can provide Infrared Camera Thermal Imaging services for single family house and multi residential homes. This service determines:

Insulation deficiency
Moisture problems
Air leakage problems
Roof and flat deck leak issues
Insulation deficiencies due to ducting and ventilation system

With this detailed information in hand, we can help you determine the most efficient and cost effective way to protect your home from unnecessary energy loss, saving you money and conserving energy for years to come.

BC ENERGY STEP CODE

A High-Performance Staircase

The Energy Step Code is a voluntary provincial standard enacted in April 2017 that provides an incremental and consistent approach to achieving more energy-efficient buildings that go beyond the requirements of the base BC Building Code. It does so by establishing a series of measurable, performance-based energy-efficiency requirements for construction that builders can choose to build to, and communities may voluntarily choose to adopt in bylaws and policies.

The Step Code takes a new, performance-based approach rather than the traditional prescriptive approach. The BC Energy Step Code does not specify how to construct a building, but identifies an energy-efficiency target that must be met and lets the designer/builder decide how to meet it.

To comply with the Step Code, builders must use energy modelling software and on-site testing to demonstrate that both their design and the constructed building meet the requirements of the Step Code. The new standard empowers builders to pursue innovative, creative, cost-effective solutions, and allows them to incorporate leading-edge technologies as they come available.

The Step Code also supports consumer choice, by allowing designers and builders to use natural gas, electricity, or other energy sources for their project without imposing a penalty on this decision. This fuel-neutral approach provides builders with the flexibility to make energy-efficient buildings using all available technologies.
