Planning and official approvals<\/h4>\n<p>Every flight is meticulously prepared in advance. Droneview.be is fully certified in accordance with European and Belgian legislation. Where necessary, we submit mandatory flight applications through official channels (such as the Skeyes platform), ensuring flights in controlled airspace or over residential zones are always 100% legal and safe.<\/p>\n<h4>2. The flight: the ideal measurement window<\/h4>\n<p>Thermography requires specific weather conditions for reliable results: a significant temperature difference between indoors and outdoors, and a dry building envelope. The ideal measurement period runs from <strong>November through February<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>To minimize neighborhood disturbance and safeguard privacy, we focus on <strong>overcast winter days, early morning hours, or early evenings<\/strong>. Direct sunlight during the day is avoided, as it heats up the facades artificially. For collective neighborhood projects, previously submitted opt-outs are strictly respected and skipped.<\/p>\n<h4>3. Radiometric data processing<\/h4>\n<p>The captured images are not just photos; they are high-grade radiometric files. This means the exact temperature data is embedded in every single pixel. After the flight, we carefully structure and process this data per address.<\/p>\n<h4>4. Secure portal for results<\/h4>\n<p>The data is made available online through a professional, cloud-based web application.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>For the citizen:<\/strong> Logs in securely with a personal code and gets insight exclusively into their own home.<\/li>\n<li><strong>For the administration:<\/strong> Receives an overarching dashboard (for district projects) to analyze results per zone efficiently.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>5. Evaluation and advice<\/h4>\n<p>The visual power of a thermal scan speaks for itself. The images form the perfect, objective basis for an energy or renovation advisor to determine which insulation measures (such as roof insulation, glazing upgrades, or cavity wall insulation) will deliver the highest return on investment.<\/p>\n<div style=\"background-color: #ffcc00; color: #000; padding: 15px 20px; text-align: center; font-weight: bold; border-bottom: 4px solid #e5b800; margin: 30px 0;\"><span style=\"font-size: 1.2rem;\">\u2744 Plan your inspection in time:<\/span> The thermal season is short and highly weather-dependent.
