If you're interested blower door testing to identify building air leakage - we are UK suppliers for Retrotec. Watch this video & give us a call on 01357 520557 for more info.

Combined with smoke & thermal imaging blower door is a great diagnostic tool.

In industrial/ commercial units, air tightness tests can fail not due to the building fabric, but due to leaky roller doors. Using retrotec fans (-ve pressure), and thermal imaging (and smoke - not shown) leakage points can readily be located.

Every picture tells a story- Solid walls, 1950s solid radiator pipes, student halls, single glazing, no radiator valves-all or nothing! So windows open in February to purge heat. Radiator pipes so hot you can see them through the walls!

Heat loss from a wall recorded by thermal image. Solid wall, single glazing, no radiator controls. This is common in Glasgow, Edinburgh and across Scotland. No insulation in this image - thermography is the best tool to identify this heat loss

Fantastic few days on Fair Isle carrying out air tightness test on superb new Fair Isle Bird Observatory. Amazing scenery & wildlife, friendly locals & staff -I can't recommend a visit highly enough.

Smoke testing and thermography work well with @retrotec blower door fans to find points of air leakage!

Hi Patrick - don't forget community transport operators, like www.CAStrathaven.org running the 3C service from Strathaven & Stonehouse in to Glasgow - transporting 15,000 pax per month, and taking thousands of car journeys off the road. It's not one size fits all. Come and meet with us! - thanks

Air leakage detection - negative pressure, warmer outside than inside #retrotec

Latest technology, top quality fans from retrotec , and a little lateral thinking.

Community car hire from @castrathaven www.CAStrathaven.org .Owning one less car in your family is one of the biggest carbon reducing actions you can take. Public transport/active travel where possible, but car available when you need one. Embodied carbon of car is up to 50% of its lifetime emissions

The Government has sold the last of its shares in NatWest which it nationalised in the 2008 Financial Crisis.

The Government has lost £10bn.

Natwest is making £7.2bn profit a year.

We are being robbed NatWest needs to pay back every penny.

Scottish Government ministers have the power to stop Flamingo Land from scarring our national park with their mega-resort. Yet they're refusing to do so.

It's an intervention they made to save Donald Trump's Aberdeenshire golf course. So why not now to save Loch Lomond?

Flamingo Land 'mega resort' at Loch Lomond compared to Donald Trump golf course

Green MSP Ross Greer hit out after the SNP Government refused to overturn a decision by its officials to allow the building of the Lomond Banks resort.

The disconnect tween UK public love of nature & Tory/Lab/Reform policies is bizarre.
All our "national parks" get truly derisory £60m annual budget.
One new car Thames crossing £9BILLION funding. 🙈🙈😪

Thermal Image UK is proud to be a member and supporter of the @passivhaustrust.bsky.social

Building new homes to Passivhaus standard, can be the single action that reduces the most carbon over time relative to the social barriers to change.

It should be the #1 climate action globally.

Perth and Kinross residents are not interested in having volunteer-led library services. I will be taking up the Minister's offer to meet and discuss the definition of 'adequate provision' of library services.

A picture from the Perthshire Advertiser with an article title "There is 'no appetite' for voluntary library services". The article also has a picture of a protest outside a library with lots of colourful banners and children and families.

Programme For Government 2025 - a new set of climate promises by the Scottish Government. What about the old promises from previous years? - 2019 - Nicola Sturgeon "£500m for bus infrastructure" - now scrapped. "Motorway bus lanes" - now scrapped. "World leading climate targets" - now scrapped. ?
