Residential and commercial thermographic assessments are crucial for ensuring the accuracy, thoroughness, and adherence to professional standards in identifying and addressing potential mold, insulation, and electrical panel heat anomalies. Thermography will assist building owners, property managers, and other stakeholders to identify conditions within infrastructure and impacts on indoor air quality.  Consequently, home and facility health, safety and compliance are qualified and conditions quantified.

Key aspects of auditing residential and commercial mold assessments:

  • Verifying Adherence to Standards: Assessments adhere to established standards and guidelines, such as those set by professional organizations like the International Association of Certified Indoor Air Consultants (IAC2) and the National Association of Mold Remediators and Inspectors (NAMRI).
  • Reviewing the Inspection Process: Visual and thermographic inspection.
  • Evaluating Report Accuracy:The assessment will accurately document the findings, including the location and extent of mold growth, temperature anomalies, sources, and recommendations for remediation.
  • Assessing Remediation Protocols: If remediation is recommended, audits can evaluate the proposed remediation protocols to ensure they are appropriate and meet regulatory requirements. 

Importance of Auditing:

  • Quality Control: The assessment process will ensure the quality and consistency of mold, heat and insulation variations, ultimately leading to more effective remediation efforts.
  • Risk Management: By identifying potential issues before full-scale remediation begins, the assessment can help reduce costly defects and waste, as well as mitigate health risks associated with mold exposure and code requirements
  • Regulatory Compliance: Assessments help ensure compliance with state and local regulations related to building code. 

In summary, thermographic investigation of the built environment is a vital step in safeguarding the health and safety of building occupants, protecting property values, and ensuring that health-related issues are effectively addressed.
