It's that time of year in Central Florida where the deluge of rain has begun. It's time to have CES proactively assess your facility for rainwater intrusion and leaks.

Moisture, in all its physical forms, is commonly regarded as the single greatest threat to durability and long-term performance of buildings. Excessive exposure to moisture is not only a common cause of significant damage to many types of building components and materials, it also can lead to poor indoor air quality (IAQ) and unhealthy indoor environments.

Thermal imaging cameras are powerful, non-contact tools for monitoring and diagnosing the condition of HVAC, electrical systems, plumbing, and building envelopes.  These cameras help you identify problems early, document them immediately, and correct them quickly.  The longer system faults are ignored, the more serious and costly they are to repair.

Indoor air quality (IAQ) problems can stem from inadequate HVAC performance, moisture trapped in walls, mold growth on cold, damp surfaces and inadequate ventilation.  Many of these can be visualized and diagnosed, at least in part, with thermography to help solve these very serious—and common—problems.

After eighteen years performing Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) assessments in commercial buildings, I've seen more than a few repeat air quality offenders.  The overwhelming leader in degrading perceived IAQ is mold and associated "musty odors."
