On the project images above, we can identify several classic energy efficiency pain points:<\/p>\n<ul data-path-to-node=\"10\">\n<li>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"10,0,0\"><b data-path-to-node=\"10,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">Massive thermal bridges above the windows:<\/b> On the rear fa\u00e7ade photo, the zones directly above the window frames light up in bright yellow and orange. This indicates a clear gap in the insulation at the lintels (support beams), allowing valuable heat to escape unobstructed.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"10,1,0\"><b data-path-to-node=\"10,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">Visible radiator heat through the outer wall:<\/b> Look closely at the areas <i data-path-to-node=\"10,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"72\">underneath<\/i> the windows on the fa\u00e7ade photo. The bright, warm glow reveals exactly where the indoor radiators are located. Because the walls behind radiators are often subjected to intense local heating, the heat radiates out through the uninsulated exterior brickwork at an accelerated rate.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"10,2,0\"><b data-path-to-node=\"10,2,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">Heat loss through the roof and skylight:<\/b> The roof photo shows a bright, yellow-white outline around the Velux skylight and a continuous warm strip along the ridge line. This is conclusive evidence of an inadequate insulation barrier or rising warm air escaping through air gaps.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2951 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.droneview.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/DJI_0005_R.jpg\" alt=\"Thermal drone inspection of a roof showing heat loss along the ridge line and around the skylight\" width=\"640\" height=\"512\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.droneview.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/DJI_0005_R.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.droneview.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/DJI_0005_R-300x240.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.droneview.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/DJI_0005_R-500x400.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3 data-path-to-node=\"11\">Why choose a thermographic drone inspection?<\/h3>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"12\">A visual inspection or a traditional energy performance certificate (EPC) will tell you that heat is being lost, but guessing <b data-path-to-node=\"12\" data-index-in-node=\"126\">where<\/b> exactly it happens remains a challenge.
