MB BIM utilizes drones equipped with advanced thermal imaging technology to fly over and scan buildings. The high-resolution images captured during flight help identify thermal anomalies that may indicate issues such as heat loss, insulation problems, envelope discontinuities, or trapped water. The thermal heat maps created from these drone flights provide valuable insights for property owners, maintenance teams, and general contractors on the potential issues they may have with their building envelope.


This service includes
-
Pre-flight assessment to identify key areas of concern.
-
Drone flight to capture temperature variations on surfaces like walls, roofs, glazing, and snowmelt systems using advanced thermal imaging.
-
A thermal heat map from the thermal images captured during this flight.
-
Based off this thermal map analysis, a detailed report is generated with thermal images and temperature readings, highlighting potential issues that may be cause these thermal anomalies.
Advantages of this service include:
-
Improved Efficiency and Speed: Drones can quickly cover large areas, identifying thermal anomalies in buildings much faster than traditional inspection methods, saving time and reducing labor costs.
-
Enhanced Safety: Drones allow for the inspection of hard-to-reach or hazardous areas without putting personnel at risk, such as high rooftops, or tall or historical facades
-
Accurate Data and Detailed Insights: Equipped with high-resolution thermal cameras, drones provide precise thermal data that can uncover hidden issues like insulation gaps, moisture intrusion, or envelope damage, enabling more targeted maintenance and repairs.
-
Preventative Maintenance: Early detection of thermal anomalies allows for proactive repairs before issues become major problems, helping to avoid costly emergency repairs or unplanned downtimes.
-
Real-Time Data: Drones provide live, on-site thermal imaging data that can be instantly analyzed, allowing for quick decision-making and rapid response to emerging issues.
-
Documentation and Reporting: The ability to capture high-quality images and video footage allows for detailed reports and visual documentation, making it easier to track progress, monitor changes over time, and share findings with stakeholders.
