Feel the heat: how drones can transform heat loss monitoring & measurement

In this online CPD learning session, Steve Welland, Training Manager at iRed / Ray Faulkner, MD at iRed, will focus on best practice and use of thermal to help the move to Net Zero. Thermal drones save lives, increase safety, boost efficiency, gather crucial real-time insights, and maximise return on investment. When it comes to utility or building inspections, a drone equipped with a thermal camera can be a game-changer. Thermal cameras enable you to see missing or damaged insulation, water under roof membranes, external electrical issues, failed windows and many other problems. Thermal drones also allow operators to reach tough-to-access spots quickly, easily and safely whilst reducing traditional investigation costs.

Key Learnings:

• Understand the rationale for thermal monitoring and measurement

• Apply methodologies to a variety of applications through examination of use cases
