Tremco Launches Aerial Program for Building Envelope Mapping in Canada
BEACHWOOD, Ohio — Tremco Roofing and Building Maintenance has introduced SkyBEAM™ (Building Envelope Asset Mapping) for use throughout Canada. SkyBEAM is a groundbreaking program that uses unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) equipped with high-resolution thermographic (infrared) and video cameras to help Tremco’s customers locate where their facilities may be leaking energy through gaps in the roof, façade or elsewhere, or may have wet insulation, and to find and photograph other potential problems on the building.
SkyBEAM’s thermographic camera graphically depicts energy inefficiencies by showing temperature variations within the building, a result of problems that can lead to increased operating costs, occupant discomfort and other issues. Poor or missing sealing around windows, for example, typically allows energy to escape. On rooftops, wet insulation retains heat longer than dry insulation; wet insulation can cause enormous long-term damage if not removed.
