Detailed expertise

Each application in detail

Electrical Thermography for Preventive Maintenance

Abnormal heating often develops before an electrical component fails. Infrared thermography can screen energized panels, switchgear, breakers, connections and other accessible equipment under representative operating conditions, helping maintenance teams identify thermal anomalies that may warrant corrective action or further electrical investigation.

Use thermal data to prioritize maintenance before an abnormal condition becomes an outage, equipment failure or fire-risk concern.

Where a project requires electrical-engineering consultation, design or signed technical documents, the scope is coordinated with an appropriately licensed Philippine electrical professional.

Commercial Roof & Waterproofing Thermography

Roof and waterproofing failures are often difficult to trace from visible staining alone. Under suitable survey conditions, infrared thermography can reveal abnormal thermal patterns that may be consistent with moisture retained within the roof assembly or with localized performance deficiencies.

Especially useful for large commercial roofs exposed to intense solar loading, heavy rainfall, high humidity and repeated waterproofing stress.

Findings are correlated with roof construction, recent weather, visual observations and, when required, targeted confirmation methods.

Building Envelope Thermography

Façades, window interfaces, joints, cladding and roof-to-wall transitions can hide air leakage, insulation deficiencies and moisture-related anomalies. Thermographic imaging provides a broader view of thermal performance across areas that may be difficult or expensive to access.

In hot and humid conditions, envelope performance affects both moisture control and cooling demand.

Water Infiltration & Hidden-Moisture Investigation

By the time staining appears, moisture may already have migrated through several layers of the building assembly. Infrared thermography helps identify thermal anomalies that may be consistent with hidden moisture without immediately opening walls or ceilings.

Findings are correlated with visual observations, rainfall history, building details and site conditions to identify probable pathways and define where further verification should be concentrated.

Reduce unnecessary exploratory demolition and give contractors a more focused area for investigation.

Cooling & Building Energy Performance

Air leakage, insulation deficiencies, solar heat gain and poorly performing envelope interfaces can increase air-conditioning demand and create uneven indoor comfort. Thermography helps locate and compare abnormal thermal patterns so facility teams can focus further investigation and corrective work.

Thermographic building-performance surveys can support energy-management decisions, but they are not presented as a DOE-certified energy audit unless the applicable Philippine certification requirements are met.

Drone Thermal Mapping for Large Sites

For large roofs, multi-building sites and hard-to-access areas, aerial thermography can accelerate data collection and provide a broader thermal overview of the property.

Useful for malls, warehouses, industrial campuses, condominium complexes and large commercial roofs where ground-only coverage is inefficient.

Drone-based surveys in the Philippines are offered only when the project can be performed through appropriately authorized operations and in compliance with applicable CAAP requirements, airspace restrictions, site conditions and safety controls.

Representative project imagery

What infrared imaging reveals that visible inspection can miss

Thermal captures from Équerre projects in Canada, shown as representative examples. Every colour is a temperature: this is how abnormal thermal patterns are identified for follow-up.

ColdHot
Commercial roof

A localized thermal pattern

A localized pattern that may be consistent with retained moisture. Reading: target the area for further verification instead of treating the entire roof as equally affected.

Flat-roof assembly

Anomalies across a roof assembly

Abnormal thermal patterns across a flat-roof assembly, interpreted with roof construction and recent weather. Reading: define where verification should be concentrated and document the rest for the next budget cycle.

Building envelope

Façade and window interfaces

Abnormal heat gain or air-leakage pattern at a façade and window interface. Reading: prioritize sealing, insulation or façade investigation.

Large site / drone

A thermal overview of a facility

Thermal overview of a roof or facility captured from the air. Reading: map large areas efficiently when flight and survey conditions allow.

Who it is for

Built for teams responsible for buildings, equipment and maintenance budgets

Maintenance budgets to defend, capital plans to support, operations to keep running: objective thermal evidence helps those decisions.

Shopping malls

Roof areas, façades, electrical rooms and large equipment portfolios where downtime and recurring leaks can create significant operational cost.

Condominium & property managers

Envelope, waterproofing, common electrical systems and long-term repair planning across towers or multi-building developments.

Hotels & resorts

Guest-area disruption, roof and waterproofing, cooling demand and electrical reliability make non-destructive diagnostics especially useful.

Industrial facilities

Electrical predictive-maintenance screening, process-support equipment, roofs and large-area facility diagnostics.

Warehouses & logistics

Large roofs, electrical distribution and site-wide thermal mapping with minimal interference to operations.

Developers, contractors & consultants

Independent thermal documentation to support investigation, commissioning follow-up, repairs and technical reporting.

Hospitals & institutions

Applications where continuity of operations and planned maintenance are especially important, subject to facility-specific safety and access requirements.

About Équerre

Canadian diagnostic expertise, adapted to Philippine facilities

Équerre was built around a structured building-inspection approach: observe, measure, document and turn findings into clear decisions. Thermography extends that method with infrared imaging for roofs, envelopes, moisture investigation and equipment screening.

Équerre is expanding its commercial and industrial thermography offering to selected projects in the Philippines, with an initial focus on Cebu and selected commercial and industrial markets.

For advanced thermography requirements, Équerre works with Level III technical partners through the Centre de thermographie du Canada. Philippine-regulated professional services, where required, must be coordinated with appropriately licensed local professionals.

Our objective is simple: precise observations, transparent limitations and actionable reporting.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What can thermography identify?

Infrared thermography identifies abnormal thermal patterns. Depending on the application, these patterns may be associated with electrical heating, moisture, air leakage, insulation deficiencies or other performance issues. Findings are interpreted in context and may require targeted confirmation.

Can you inspect electrical equipment while it is operating?

Many electrical thermographic surveys are most useful under representative operating load, provided the equipment can be safely accessed and the facility’s electrical-safety procedures are followed. Scope and local professional requirements are confirmed before the survey.

Can thermography find the source of a roof leak?

Thermography can help identify areas that may contain moisture or show abnormal thermal behavior. We combine the thermal data with visual observations and site conditions to narrow the investigation; it does not replace all confirmation methods.

Can you inspect malls, condominium towers and industrial facilities?

Yes, these are target applications for the service. Final scope depends on site access, size, operating conditions and local regulatory requirements.

Do operations need to stop?

Many surveys can be performed with little or no interruption, but the exact access and operating requirements depend on the application and facility safety rules.

Can large roofs be inspected by drone?

Potentially. Drone surveys depend on weather, airspace, site conditions and compliance with applicable CAAP operational requirements.

Is this an energy audit?

No. The thermographic survey provides infrared diagnostic information that can support energy and maintenance decisions. Any statutory energy audit under Philippine law must be delivered through the appropriate certified or accredited professionals.

What does the report include?

Located visual and thermal images, interpretation of observed anomalies, priority levels and recommended next steps.

Where are projects currently available?

Projects are currently evaluated across the Philippines, with an initial operational focus on Cebu and selected commercial and industrial opportunities. Final availability depends on project scope, access and applicable local requirements.

How much does a survey cost?

Pricing depends on the application, facility size, access, operating conditions, travel and reporting scope. Submit the project details for a scope review.
