quantify energy loss

IRT’s software, Envision, enables thermal images to be quantified for energy loss. Allowing you to literally see just how much energy you are losing from your building. This visibility means our clients can rank and rate their buildings — helping prioritise their refurbishment programme and providing a known return on investment ahead of any capital expenditure.

defect detection

Infrared provides fast, accurate and non-destructive answers to a vast array of building problems — meaning you get answers and a cost effective solution rapidly and with minimal disruption.

predictive maintenance

We use the latest infrared thermographic equipment to assess high voltage distribution boards, power supplies, transformers and machinery with minimal disruption, highlighting any overloaded components, out of phase power supplies or poor connections. Not only can this thermal imaging help you plan a maintenance schedule, and minimise shutdown time, it can also satisfy insurance policy requirements.

envision explainedenvision software

Envision software enables automatic energy quantification of images to recognised government standards such as SBEM and SAP, providing you with evidence of potential savings.

Tried and tested, proven technology. We have surveyed over 150,000 properties using Envision.

how it works

Envision extracts radiometric data from each image, together with metadata containing distance, emissivity, atmospheric temperatures, reflected temps & camera details. This data is then integrated to SAP or SBEM software to produce a truly unique report — literally showing you where you are losing energy, exactly how much and also how best to make savings. Interactive modelling of savings.

A template system means you simply select a benchmark that best reflects your building, occupancy and usage — and let Envision do the rest.
