Thermal Imaging for Energy Audits: Find Hidden Building Problems | BPMS™

Thermal imaging for energy audits can help building-performance professionals investigate temperature patterns that may point toward insulation irregularities, thermal bridging, possible air-movement pathways, HVAC conditions, and other areas requiring further evaluation. In this YouTube Short, see how infrared thermography and thermal imaging can become more useful when combined with building-science knowledge, field observations, blower-door testing, photographs, and professional documentation. A thermal camera doesn’t automatically diagnose a building problem. Surface temperatures can be influenced by indoor and outdoor conditions, solar exposure, wind, moisture, HVAC operation, construction materials, and other factors. That’s why professional interpretation and supporting evidence matter. You’ll also see how BPMS Thermal™ is designed to connect thermal documentation with the broader BPMS™ — Building Performance Modeling Systems™ workflow. For energy auditors, HERS raters, weatherization professionals, HVAC contractors, Home Energy Score assessors, and home-performance professionals, connected documentation can help create a stronger building record from assessment through recommendations, WorkScopes, reporting, and verification. Better Data. Better Decisions. Better Buildings. Explore BPMS™ and BPMS Thermal™ at BPMSCloud.com
