Building envelope

Envelope surveys with
the evidence built in

Envelope conditions can be difficult to assess visually: air leakage, thermal bypasses, and moisture-related patterns. Atlas turns a thermal survey of walls, roofs, and junctions into documented measurements for qualified interpretation, retrofit scoping, and further investigation.

Capabilities

For envelope consultants and energy professionals

Rigorous thermography workflows for the building science crowd.

Radiometric temperature analysis

Inspect per-pixel temperatures, adjust emissivity and reflected temperature, and place spot and area measurements that update live as you tune parameters and interpret capture conditions.

Radiometric file support

Atlas reads embedded temperature data from supported DJI R-JPEG and FLIR radiometric files — not just the colorized preview — and keeps measurement parameters available for review.

Annotation & markup

Drop pins with live temperature readouts, mark regions, add delta-T callouts, and attach field notes so every finding carries its evidence.

Mobile field capture

The companion mobile app captures photos, notes, and flight details on site and syncs them straight into the right project.

Branded PDF reports

Generate client-ready reports with annotated imagery, findings tables, and severity grading — under your logo and brand, ready to send the same day.

Secure client share links

Share findings through expiring, optionally passphrase-protected links. Clients review imagery and comments in the browser — no account required.

Defect signatures, quantified

Thermal bridging, convective looping, and insulation gaps can produce recognizable patterns, but materials and conditions matter. Atlas provides radiometric surface temperatures, adjustable emissivity, and area statistics so the inspector can document the basis for an interpretation.

Interior and exterior, one survey record

Envelope work mixes exterior drone passes with interior handheld captures. Atlas accepts both, organizes them under one project, and pairs findings across the assembly — the cold streak on the interior gypsum matched with the exterior view of the same bay. Field notes captured on the mobile app land in the same record.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What envelope defects show up in thermal surveys?

Air leakage paths, missing or slumped insulation, thermal bridging, moisture in assemblies, and failed glazing seals — each visible as a characteristic surface-temperature pattern under the right conditions.

What conditions does an envelope thermal survey need?

A meaningful inside-outside temperature difference (commonly 10°C/18°F or more) and stable conditions. Atlas logs survey timing and site weather so your report documents that conditions were valid.

Can Atlas support blower-door-assisted surveys?

Yes — capture imagery during depressurization and document the sequence in the project record. The pressure equipment is yours; the imagery, measurement, and reporting side is Atlas.
