Four Basics Of ICC’s Thermal Mapping:
1) Daytime and Night-time ROOF DATA is Captured viaHelicopters in hover-mode to obtain Portrait Quality,
Still Imagery
2) WALL FACADES – Up to 3 Stories shot from ground level, beyond 3 Stories a lift is utilized
3) All Thermal Data is Computer Mapped & Analyzed: Image Enhanced & Military style, Multi-pass Analysis Performed
4) Certified Level 3/Building Sciences ThermographersReview and Analyze Results
Two Complete Mapping Passes w/Varying levels of Sensitivity Clearly Identify Moisture Intrusion in
Various Low-slope Commercial Roof Systems:
Built-up, EPDM, Mod-bit, TPO, PVC, Single/Multi-ply, etc.
Wall Report Clearly Identifies Moisture Intrusion/Energy Loss Points
in Varying Wall Façade Material Types:
STUCCO, BRICK, TERRA COTTA, CMU Block & EIFS-Dryvit
Majority of Insulation Types Included:
Lightweight Insulating Concrete, ISO Board, Perlite, Fiberglass, Various Foams, Extruded Poly,
etc.
Without regard to Deck Materials
ICC is “Rocket Science” for Roofs and Walls, similar to these IR Computerized Images from
the Hubble Infrared Telescope
ICC provides verifiable intelligence Beyond Human Eye Results
Pixel Level Analysis & Computer Mapping
Similar to current Medical Imaging & Analysis, Thermal Mapping Creates a Supremely Accurate Map
Think of the Process as a Thermal Based MRI/CAT SCAN
HOW AMAZING IS ICC’sPATENTED PROCESS?
• Routinely detects 30/40%+ moisture content BELOW SATURATION POINT (No leaking yet)Another NDT Industry 1st
• Detects virtually all Vertical/Horizontal area spreads Above Saturation Point AND LEAK SOURCES within moisture field
• ICC’s Thermal Mapping has NEVER Tested below 95% Accurate on Red Marked areas over 10 years*
* Testing by Independent 3rd Parties, ASTM Guideline Roof Cores & Gravimetric Tests at a Certified Labs
60 Year Old Infrared Methods compared to
ICC’s Thermal Mapping
Most Insurance Adjusters Still UseThis 60 Year Old Technology: Handheld IR
(Is this an Attempt to Mitigate Claims?)
HANDHELD/WALKOVER INFRARED* 60 Year Old Technology *
Note HAND-HELD CAMERA:
Taken At Night By A Team Including Your StaffEach Image = 200 SF/60 DEGREE ANGLE.
100,000 SF Roof = 500 ImagesThis Obsolete Method is Error Prone, Slow, and Dangerous
OSHA Regulations Are Violated Due to Absence of Tethers & Harnesses
HANDHELD/WALKOVER Data is thenHand Transferred to a ROOF PLAN:
This Analog Process is accompanied by Human Error, Transpositions & Misalignments
“Photoshopping” Thermal Imagery ISN’T Thermal Mapping Of Your Buildings!
1) Retouching ONLY Changes Black/White Ratio (contrast)
2) Photoshop Software DOES NOTExpose Hidden Moisture
3) Data Manipulation, “Photoshopping” creates Erroneous Impression this Imagery is Superior to ICC’s Patented Process
4) Increased Altitude/Forward Motion Degrades IR Imagery Vs. low altitude, hovering Helicopter
5) Hot Exhaust passing by the IR Camera confuses Thermal Imagery
6) Only Reveals LARGE HOT-SPOT’s Following Data Manipulation
Fixed Wing Aerial Infrared30 Year Old Technology:
Forward Motion of the Aircraft Smears the IR Data

DATA COLLECTION – AIRPLANE VS. HELICOPTER AND ICC’S PATENTED PROCESS
AT OHIO UNIVERSITY THE AIRPLANE MISSED OR MISCALLED 69%WHILE THE ICC PATENTED, COMPUTER ANALYZED REPORT WAS 100% ACCURATE.
3 Times the Anomalies were Identified by ICC.– 2/3 of the problems were missed by the Airplane provider who simply eye-balled hot spots
Thermal Mapping SuperiorityRaw Thermogram Thermal Map
This Roof’s West Side is NOT Eye Readable While its East Side is Eye Readable.
Thermal Mapping Perfectly Reads Both Sides
AIRPLANE AND OTHER IR SERVICES ID ONLY LARGE SPOTS
Would you Pay $100,000 for a Brain Operationthat Leaves Cancer Behind? Or millions for roof repair that leaves
moisture behind? ICC’s clients report our accuracy using the helicopter & the U.S. Patent as exceeding 95% --
Trade Secret Direct Output Scaled Roof Data - NO Building Owner Measurements Required
AIA STANDARD SCALING ON ROOFS:
Between 1” = 20 ft/1” = 50 ft
End Result = Thermal Map Unavailable Via Any Other Method
Resulting in an ACCURATE ReportEVERYONE CAN UNDERSTAND!
ICC Reveals What is NOT Eye-Readableon a Raw Thermogram,
Even to Trained & Certified Thermographers
THE INVISIBLE MADE CLEAR
ICC is Unique Among Forensic Disaster Recovery
Methods Because It Accurately Identifies…
HIDDEN DAMAGE(Not Visible to the Human Eye)
Visible Damage Vs.Hidden Damage
• Everyone covers Visible Damage within 3rd Party Insurance Policy Guidelines.
• FEMA begins coverage where 3rd Party Visible Claims are insufficient.
• BOTH 3rd party Insurance & FEMA will pay for Hidden Damage that can be
PROVEN
Thermal Maps Prove BOTHVisible Damage & Hidden DamageOld-style Handheld IR as sometimes used by 3rd Party Insurance reports
only LARGE HOT SPOTS Above Saturation Point
Hand-held IR routinely misses up to 50% of a Building’s total Moisture.
ICC’s Thermal Maps are VERIFIABLE SCIENCE
Not Opinions or Best Guesses & They’re easily understood
by anyone...
FEMA RESPECTS ICC’s REPORTS!
Why Does FEMA Respect ICC?
• Pre & Post ICC Reports Prove Building Condition in concert with follow up ASTM Coring & Gravimetric Tests
• Pre & Post Reports minimize Pre-Existing Damage Arguments & Claim Denial
• Post Event Only Mapping is still a valuable resource. A Seasoned Consultant is a MUST to Link Damages to the Event
3rd Party Insurance Companies
1) Refuse Hidden Damage Until Proven2) ALWAYS Seek to MINIMIZE Claim
Awards to Building Owners3) Normally Demand Both Thermal
Mapping and Destructive Testing4) Destructive Includes ASTM Coring &
Independent Gravimetric Lab Tests which ICC will Assist in Managing
ICC’s Thermal MappingThe ULTIMATE Claim Justification
Tool in the Hands ofQualified, Experienced,
Disaster Recovery Specialistsworking as the owner’s advocates:ICC Thermal Mapping & Surveying
EVIDENCE:ICC’s Thermal Mapping is
verifiable evidence and is the Future of Claims Resolution
Use ICC’s Evidence to Minimize Arguments on Pre-
Existing Damage, Speed Awards & Deter Lawsuits
DISASTER RECOVERYBEST PRACTICE
1. Annual Thermal Mapping Baseline of all your Campuses & Buildings
2. Post Event Mapping
3. Independent ASTM Guideline Coring & Gravimetric Core Testing at an ASTM Certified Lab which ICC will Assist in Managing
HURRICANE DAMAGE RECOVERY EXAMPLES
Note: Although the following Examples are Hurricane based,
Thermal Mapping works exactly the same for
Tornadoes, Large Hail, Flooding, Excessive Rain/Wind & MicroBursts
FLORIDA HURRICANES:Charlie - September 2004
Jeanne - October 2004
• The Following Orlando International (MCO) Terminal was Dry in the Annual Pre Hurricane Season inspection
• Post Hurricane Charlie Thermal Map
• Post Hurricane Jeanne Thermal Map
Orlando International Airport (MCO) Terminal
After CHARLIE After JEANNE
RED areas are indicative of sub-membrane moisture
Pre Hurricane inspection was “Clean” Post Hurricane Assessments were 6 weeks apart
Engineers, Architects & General Contractors Agree:
• MAXIMIZE your 1st Event Hidden Damage Recovery.
• Once your Roofing Systems have been “stressed” they will fail at a faster rate & accelerate in future events even if they appear to be minor events.
• ICC concurs after 10 years of Post Event Thermal Mapping across the USA.
RISK MANAGEMENT & Thermal Mapping Cost
Current USA Roofing Cost:1,000,000 SF, Continental US = $25M to $30M
Thermal Mapping Assessment Cost:
5 cents Large Study to 6.5 cents per SF small Study* 1 cent per SF for AIA Scaling* - Always recommended 1.5 Cents per SF for Rooftop AutoCAD Services* Includes a
Prioritized Damage Analysis at No Charge
“For 10 years, I’ve been spending 5 cents/SF with ICC to preserve my roofs instead of $25/SF to
replace them….” Tom Shewan, P.E., FSU
Hurricane Ike Post AssessmentReturn On Investment
• University of Houston: $6M in Visible Damage, with two Blown Off Roofs. $150K invested in ICC’s Post Hurricane Survey results in $6M in Hidden DamageRecovery from FEMA = 40 Times ROI
• Houston Community College System: “Slight” visible Damage, No Blown Off Roofs. $102K invested in ICC’s Post Hurricane Survey results in $5.5M in Hidden Damage Recovery from FEMA = 54 Times ROI
