Thermal imaging uses Infrared Thermography (IRT) to detect infrared radiation emitted by an object and translate the reading into heat. The images are processed using thermographic software to identify hot and cold spots which may be indicative of air leaks, water ingress, or faults in photovoltaic cells. Thermal surveys are generally conducted at night to avoid disturbance from reflected solar radiation.

It is further recommended that a UAS thermographic survey is undertaken alongside a UAS visual condition survey to acquire the most detailed information available and provide a high-quality solution.
UAS thermal imaging is not constrained by poor access, inviting the opportunity to survey larger buildings and structures which may otherwise not be possible.
