About this event

Join us for an insightful peer learning session focused on unlocking hidden insights in housing stock using advanced thermal imaging surveys.

Understanding the true condition of homes is key to delivering effective retrofit solutions. IRT’s cutting-edge infra-red technology allows housing providers, surveyors, and asset managers to detect energy loss, moisture intrusion, and leaks—without scaffolding, disruption, or guesswork. These precision scans provide hard, unbiased data that helps plan efficient retrofits and target improvements where they’re most needed.

This session dives into the practical benefits of thermal imaging in both assessment and implementation phases of retrofit delivery. We’ll hear directly from IRT about how their tools are saving time and money for social housing landlords and improving outcomes for tenants.

Key topics covered:

  • Introduction to IRT’s thermal imaging approach
  • Diagnosing moisture, leaks, and energy loss without disruption
  • Using infrared data for retrofit planning and evaluation
  • Reducing reliance on traditional surveys and assumptions
  • Benefits for tenants: comfort, efficiency, and quicker fixes

Ideal for housing associations, retrofit teams, surveyors, and local authorities looking to integrate smart diagnostics into their retrofit workflows.

Speakers: Lisa Cairns, Business Development and Improvement Manager, IRT Surveys Ltd.
