QEA is excited to announce the latest addition to our market leading, AI-powered building envelope assessment services – QEA’s Roof Assure Audit. Leveraging sophisticated AI models, thermography, and industrial drones, QEA’s Roof Assure Audit provides the precise insights needed for building owners to address issues before they grow into costly problems.
QEA’s Roof Assure Audit incorporates several proprietary innovations to tackle the essential aspects of managing your roof. The Roof Assure Audit:
- Pinpoints physical issues, risks, and deficiencies throughout the roof (e.g. moisture penetration, wet insulation, corrosion, blisters, debris) down to inches or centimeters.
- Accurately measures megawatt-hours (MWh) of energy loss, tons of carbon emissions, forecasted energy and emissions savings, and the effective R-value for each square inch or centimeter of the roof.
- Provides customized retrofit plans that detail a cost-benefit analysis for various roofing solutions, with each plan tailored to maximize ROI.
QEA’s Roof Assure Audit is backed by robust AI models trained on hundreds of thousands of high-resolution (8k+), high proximity, annotated thermal and visual images of roofs. This ensures the highest levels of accuracy, precision, and speed in analysis. Our extensive database is built on over 1,100 projects completed for a diverse portfolio of commercial, residential, institutional, and industrial buildings, ensuring optimal accuracy in analysis.
The Roof Assure Audit begins with comprehensive data collection using industrial drones and QEA’s proprietary sensors. Once data is collected, QEA’s AI models and team of building science specialists diagnose various roofing issues and risks and present solutions that optimize ROI. The Roof Assure Audit delves deeper than traditional audits by detailing severity, square footage, and material impacted by each issue. All of this information is presented on a high-quality, digital twin of the roof, creating an intuitive visual model of roof performance.
Example of a digital twin of the roof which includes a thermal overlay and markers identifying key roofing issues. For each issue size and severity are detailed.
QEA’s Roof Assure Audit delivers custom retrofit solutions tailored to the needs of each roof. Each solution includes details on implementation costs, forecasted energy savings (MWh), and payback periods. Building owners can quickly understand optimal retrofit decisions, such as whether targeted repairs or a full roof replacement delivers a better ROI. Through QEA’s expansive network of roofing solutions partners, we ensure accurate costing information and can facilitate retrofit implementations, streamlining the entire retrofit process.
QEA’s Roof Assure Audit delivers an unmatched level of precision, accuracy, and detail, empowering building owners to establish strong business cases needed to justify roofing retrofits. With hundreds of successful deployments across multiple countries, QEA’s Roof Assure Audit is helping building owners understand the lifespan of their roof, mitigate roofing risks, prioritize repairs and retrofits based on necessity and ROI, and ensure compliance with roofing regulations.
Contact QEA today to maximize the lifespan of your roof with data-backed and ROI-driven insights.
