  3. FLIR’s Top Tips for Ensuring Energy Efficiency

    On the right, large white text reads "Ensuring Energy Efficiency with Thermal Imaging For Homes & Buildings". On the right are two thermal images stacked on top of each other. The top image depicts a door and the bottom image is of a window. In the centre of the banner, an individual holds a FLIR Ex-Pro camera. It is being pointed at a concrete building with floors of windows. Last year as winter descended and energy prices rose, news outlets were awash with reports about charities, councils, and insurance companies using thermal imaging to pinpoint sources of heat loss. These stories made headlines because they detailed an innovative method that enabled patrons/customers to target insulation work effectively, subsequently reducing their energy consumption, heating bills, and carbon emissions. What in 2022 began as a little-known method of optimising energy efficiency has become increasingly popular throughout 2023. Now, as winter creeps in once more, ensuring homes are energy efficient is crucial. That’s why Teledyne FLIR has provided some top tips on what to look out for when conducting a thermal survey of your home. Continue reading →
  4. News Roundup: Thermal Cameras Adopted by Multiple UK Organisations to Reduce Energy Bills & Emissions

    On the left, large, white text reads "Thermal Cameras Adopted by Multiple UK Organisations to Reduce Energy Bills & Emissions". On the right is a thermal image of a house and two cars. In the centre is an iPhone with a thermal image of a house on the screen. To the left of it is a FLIR One Edge Pro with the lens facing the viewer. Rising energy prices and environmental urgency have inspired charities, councils, and companies across the UK to look for innovative methods of maximising the efficiency of British homes. One such method is thermal imaging. In 2022, we brought you multiple reports of organisations, including the charity Cambridge Carbon Footprint; South Somerset District Council; and Octopus Energy, providing thermal cameras to property owners for the purpose of identifying heat loss. Armed with this information, householders could target their insulation efforts effectively. Subsequently reducing their energy consumption, bills, and emissions. 2023 has seen even more councils and organisations adopt similar policies. Below are just a few instances that made headlines.

  5. International Men’s Day 2023: Oliver Fritchle, Electric Vehicle Pioneer

    On the left is a black and white portrait of Oliver Fritchle wearing a suit with his dark hair swept the the side. To the right of the portrait, large grey text framed by oversized quotation marks in opposite corners reads "I'd like to do something extraordinary". It’s tempting to think that electric vehicles are relatively new inventions. However, the race to manufacture a viable electric car began not with Elon Musk and Tesla but over one hundred years ago with Oliver Fritchle and Phaeton. Beginning his career as a chemist, Fritchle became an innovative businessman and a pioneer in the world of EV engineering.[1] Continue reading →

  7. International Men’s Day 2023: Helping Men in Construction with Their Mental Health

    The International Men's Day logo sits in the bottom right corner. Behind it a man in a orange hi-vis and an orange hardhat is lifting a large pipe. On the left large, white  text on a blue background reads 'Helping Men in Construction with Their Mental Health'. This year’s International Men’s Day theme is “Zero Male Suicide”. One of the issues International Men’s Day aims to raise awareness of is the male suicide crisis. Men are three times more likely to die by suicide than women; a trend that is sadly concentrated within the construction industry, a male-dominated sector. The stigma surrounding mental illness and talking about mental health, particularly amongst men, has long been considered a factor contributing to rates of suicide. To redress this, the charity Mates in Mind and the online construction-based community On the Tools have set up initiatives to encourage honest discussions about mental well-being amongst construction workers.

  9. Defending Data Centres Using Teledyne FLIR Thermal Imaging

    On the left is a close-up of a translucent, white Ethernet cable. On the right, large, white text reads "How Can Thermal Cameras Aid in Telecoms & Data Centres Industries?" As we come to rely on the internet, data networks, AI, and cloud-based systems more and more, it’ll become increasingly important to ensure the reliability and efficacy of data centres. Unplanned downtime can be very costly both with respect to loss of earnings and business reputation. A Teledyne FLIR case study estimates that data centre companies lose $8000 every minute a plant is down due to an unexpected failure.[1] Spotting potential issues before they become catastrophic faults could eliminate unplanned downtime. Understanding this, Teledyne FLIR offers a range of thermal imaging solutions specifically for this purpose. Continue reading →
  10. Working in Explosive Locations with the Teledyne FLIR Cx5 Hazardous Area Thermal Camera

    On the left large white text reads "Teledyne FLIR Cx5 Hazardous Area Thermal Camera". Beneath it smaller white text reads "Working in Explosive Locations". On the right, someone wearing protective gloves is holding a Teledyne FLIR Cx5 Thermal Camera. In the centre of the the screen is a thermal picture of a piece of plant equipment. It sits within a larger digital picture of a factory. Explosions in hazardous areas are extremely costly. They endanger invaluable lives and can result in damage totalling hundreds of millions of pounds. Explosions occur when volatile gasses or dust in the atmosphere reach ignition temperature. According to conservative estimates, a major dust explosion takes place somewhere around the globe every 2.9 days! Predictive maintenance routines that include regular T-class temperature checks are an effective method of preventing such catastrophes. However, as suggested by their name, hazardous locations are dangerous. Therefore, unless your inspection tools are suitably certified for the site/s you are working in, you could increase your risk of explosion. Thankfully, Teledyne FLIR has designed an ATEX/IECEx-certified, pocket-sized thermal camera. It allows you to capture thermal images and temperatures without the need for hot work permits, and makes T-class surveys quick, safe, and easy. Continue reading →
