Deviation 001 – Roof

Roof • RPL 3

Description

Heat loss has been identified in the marked thermogram, indicating a thermal anomaly in the roof section. This suggests the presence of a thermal bridge, where heat is escaping through areas of insufficient insulation. The observable evidence from the thermogram highlights the specific locations where the temperature differential is significant. The extent of the issue appears to be localized, but it may have implications for overall energy efficiency and comfort within the building. The affected areas should be closely monitored for further signs of heat loss or moisture intrusion. Visual inspection may reveal additional clues regarding the integrity of the insulation in these regions.

Cause / Assessment

The most likely cause of the heat loss is inadequate insulation at the thermal bridge locations. This can lead to increased energy consumption and potential discomfort for occupants. If left unaddressed, it may also result in moisture problems, which could compromise the building's structural integrity over time.

Recommended action

Improve insulation in the identified areas to mitigate heat loss. Conduct regular inspections to ensure the effectiveness of the insulation. Consider implementing preventative measures to avoid future thermal bridging.

Deviation 002 – Roof

Roof • RPL 3

Description

Significant moisture accumulation has been detected beneath the roofing membrane, as evidenced by the attached thermal image. The affected area is located on the roof, where the insulation is likely compromised due to the presence of water. This condition poses a risk of further damage to the roofing structure and insulation materials. The extent of the moisture accumulation suggests a prolonged exposure to water, which could lead to mold growth and deterioration of building materials. Immediate attention is required to assess the full impact of this moisture intrusion.

Cause / Assessment

The most likely cause of the moisture accumulation is a breach in the roofing membrane, allowing water infiltration. This can lead to significant risks, including structural damage, insulation failure, and potential health hazards due to mold growth. The uncertainty surrounding the extent of the damage necessitates a thorough investigation.

Recommended action

Remove the wet insulation to prevent further damage. Repair the hole in the roofing membrane to stop water infiltration. Implement regular inspections to prevent future occurrences.

Deviation 005 – Facade

Roof • RPL 3

Description

Cracking has been observed in the facade, which is evident both thermally and visually. The cracks appear to be distributed across various sections of the facade, indicating a potential structural issue. The extent of the cracking suggests that it may be significant, warranting further investigation. The visual evidence shows irregular patterns of cracking that could compromise the integrity of the building. Thermal imaging may reveal temperature differentials associated with the cracks, suggesting underlying issues. The facade's condition raises concerns about its long-term durability and performance.

Cause / Assessment

The exact cause of the cracking is uncertain, but it is likely related to settlement damage. Such damage can occur due to ground movement or inadequate foundation support. If left unaddressed, these cracks could lead to further structural deterioration and potential safety hazards.

Recommended action

Repairs should be conducted promptly to address the cracking in the facade. A thorough assessment of the foundation and surrounding soil conditions is recommended. Preventative measures should be implemented to mitigate future settlement issues.

Deviation 007 – Facade

Roof • RPL 3

Description

Significant moisture retention has been observed in the construction, which is evident as darker areas in the attached thermal image. This moisture issue appears to be widespread, affecting various sections of the facade. The extent of the moisture infiltration suggests a potential underlying problem that requires further investigation. The affected areas are likely to compromise the integrity of the building materials and may lead to further deterioration if not addressed promptly. The presence of moisture can also create an environment conducive to mold growth, posing health risks to occupants. A thorough assessment is necessary to determine the full extent of the damage and the specific locations impacted.

Cause / Assessment

The most likely cause of the moisture retention is a leak from the roof or parapet, which has allowed water to infiltrate the facade. This situation poses risks such as structural damage, mold growth, and potential health hazards for building occupants. The uncertainty regarding the exact source of the leak necessitates a detailed investigation to confirm the cause and extent of the moisture problem.

Recommended action

Conduct a thorough inspection to identify the source of the leak. Implement necessary repairs to the roof or parapet to prevent further moisture intrusion. Monitor the affected areas for any signs of recurring moisture issues.

Deviation 008 – Facade

Roof • RPL 3

Description

The marked window exhibits clear signs of puncturing, which is visible upon inspection. This defect is characterized by the presence of air leakage between the glass layers, leading to a compromised thermal performance of the window. The issue is localized to the specific window indicated, and it affects the overall energy efficiency of the facade. The visual evidence suggests that the integrity of the window's seal has been breached, which may also lead to condensation or fogging between the panes. This condition can significantly impact the comfort and energy consumption of the building. The extent of the problem appears to be limited to this particular window, but it may indicate broader issues if not addressed promptly.

Cause / Assessment

The primary cause of the observed issue is likely due to a failure in the sealant or the glass itself, resulting in puncturing. This failure can lead to increased air infiltration, which negatively affects the window's U-value and overall energy efficiency. If left unaddressed, this could result in further deterioration of the window and increased energy costs for heating or cooling. There is some uncertainty regarding whether the damage is isolated or indicative of a more systemic problem within the facade.

Recommended action

The window should be repaired or replaced to restore its integrity and thermal performance. Regular inspections of window seals and glass should be conducted to prevent similar issues in the future.
