Building Envelope, RGB & Thermal

A commercial building captured in RGB and thermal, so the client could compare the two.

RGB and thermal, side by side

The client first asked us for an RGB capture of their building. They were looking closely at how efficiently the building performed, so they asked us to add a thermal capture as well. With the two side by side, their team could compare what the camera saw with what the thermal sensor recorded, look further into anything that stood out, and decide which repairs would do the most for the building’s condition and efficiency. Below, the thermal capture is shown in several palettes, followed by a close-range frame of the façade next to its RGB counterpart.

The same brick wall and window in visible light: tan and brown brickwork, a dark-framed window, and the corner of the building

What Was Captured

  • The building envelope in RGB from the air
  • The same envelope in thermal
  • Close-range frames of the façade in both

What Was Delivered

  • RGB imagery of the envelope
  • Thermal imagery in several palettes
  • Both sets together, to compare side by side
