The Technology

Infrared radiation is an invisible light that shares many of the same characteristics as visible light, including the ability to be focused, reflected, and refracted. Unlike visible light, infrared radiation is
emitted by all objects with a temperature greater than absolute zero.

What does this mean? It means that all objects are sources of this invisible light in the
infrared spectrum.

Infrared radiation technology has existed for over 20 years and has been being used in building maintenance applications for over 15 years. Temperature measuring thermal cameras are sensitive
to infrared radiation. The camera will detect infrared radiation that is emitted, reflected and transmitted from an object. However, it does not detect emitted radiation only. This is why it's critical to have a
certified thermographer with experience interpreting the images in order to get the correct temperature measurements.

So how does this apply to your building? Simply put, we capture infrared images of your systems to determine where there may be electrical deficiencies. The camera sees and records the levels of
infrared radiation at certain critical junctions in the electrical infrastructure of a building.

We then evaluate the findings to see if there may be too large of a load on a circuit, if there is a circuit
that has a normal load but may not be properly connected, or anything that may cause a disruption in
the path of electricity through the system.

We then provide this data to you and your electrician or building maintenance engineer so the problem
can be addressed before it leads to a catastrophic failure.
