A single annual radiometric thermal survey produces a year-over-year record of envelope condition that scales across multi-building campuses. For owners, project managers and remote stakeholders needing recurring visual updates. Share the site plan, stage of work, requested cadence, viewpoints, site-contact details and reporting audience. Access, cranes, changing site geometry and weather may affect repeatability.
