EnergizeDrone carries out thermal drone inspections of roofs, building envelopes, solar power plants and technical systems across Croatia. We plan the mission according to the type of building, time of day, weather conditions and the question the responsible specialist needs to answer. We link every thermal shot with an RGB view and location so that a finding does not remain an isolated coloured image without context.
EnergizeDrone, a brand of Energize Intelligent Solutions d.o.o. from Zagreb, provides RGB and thermal drone inspections for projects across Croatia. The deliverables link the temperature pattern with a visual shot and location so the technical team can check the finding in a targeted way.
The contractor should be able to show which part of the building was captured, under what conditions and where the temperature pattern is located. A coloured thermal image alone, without visual context, is often not enough for a technical decision.
A professional company states the influence of sun, wind, reflections, materials and the system’s operating state, and clearly explains when a finding must be confirmed by a building, electrical or other appropriate specialist.
The EnergizeDrone team includes a specialist holding the ITC Level I Infrared Thermography certificate. The programme covers the factors that affect temperature measurement accuracy, emissivity, reflection, heat transfer, atmospheric effects, thermal image analysis and producing clear reports. This knowledge is applied when preparing surveys and interpreting findings, while the final diagnosis of a specific system is confirmed by an appropriate specialist.
Check the content of the official ITC programmeThermography does not show a fault directly; it shows differences in surface temperature. Value comes when the pattern is captured under the right conditions, compared with the visual condition and interpreted together with someone who knows the structure or system.
01 Application
An aerial thermal survey can isolate zones that behave differently in temperature from the surrounding surface. Such zones can be the starting point for a more detailed inspection of insulation, waterproofing or traces of moisture. We do not conclude the final cause from the thermogram alone; we hand over the finding with its position and an RGB shot for on-site verification.
02 Application
Facades, structural joints and openings can be inspected from angles that are hard to reach with a handheld camera. A meaningful result requires a sufficient temperature difference between indoors and outdoors, stable weather and knowledge of how the building is used. The survey serves as an inspection and documentation, not as a standalone structural diagnosis.
03 Application
A thermal survey of a plant can show modules or parts of a string with an unusual thermal pattern. The position is recorded so the technical team can check the component in a targeted way. The survey is carried out under conditions suited to the system’s operation, and interpretation takes into account reflections, camera angle, load and ambient temperature.
04 Application
Rooftop installations, tanks, pipelines and accessible parts of a plant can be inspected without unnecessarily approaching hazardous zones. A drone allows systematic documentation of a larger area but does not remove the site’s safety procedures. The flight scope and marking criteria are agreed with the person responsible for maintenance.
A reliable thermal inspection requires agreement on survey conditions. Material, solar radiation, wind, humidity, reflections and ambient temperature can change the image, so we prepare each mission according to the building and the finding required.
We ask for the location, type of building, available drawings or equipment layout and a description of the problem. Together we determine the surfaces to be inspected and the people who will interpret the findings. This avoids capturing a large number of thermograms without a clear basis for comparison.
Indicative timeline: confirmed in the quote after reviewing the site.We assess the required temperature difference, the position of the sun, wind, precipitation and the system’s operating state. The flight plan includes safe distances, camera angles and an RGB shot alongside each thermal record. Airspace and the applicable operational rules are checked before the flight. Where applicable, we check Croatian Civil Aviation Agency (HACZ) procedures, airspace conditions and use of the AMC Portal before confirming the flight.
Indicative timeline: confirmed in the quote after reviewing the site.The operator monitors the thermal view while also recording the visual context and position. Suspicious zones are captured from a suitable angle and, when conditions allow, repeated for verification. This reduces the chance of a reflection or passing shadow being mistaken for a finding.
Indicative timeline: confirmed in the quote after reviewing the site.We organise the material by building, surface or component. Selected shots receive a location and a comparison view, and the report describes the observed pattern and survey conditions. The final diagnosis of the structural or technical condition is confirmed by an appropriate specialist.
Indicative timeline: confirmed in the quote after reviewing the site.For a thermal mission, the measurement purpose, radiometric data and stable RGB context matter more than the resolution of a promotional photo. Equipment and parameters are chosen according to the size of the target, the required distance and safety conditions.
A compact professional platform with thermal and visual sensors for structured inspections of buildings and equipment. The final flight configuration depends on the goal and the site.
See the DJI Matrice 4TThe visual image shows which part of the building was inspected, while the thermal record shows the temperature pattern. Pairing them makes it easier for a technician to find the spot on site and reduces ambiguity.
Thermal inspection of solar power plantsFor larger roofs or complex sites, images can be organised into an inspection map so that findings are easier to link with the relevant part of the building.
See 3D mappingWe carry out inspections in Trnje, Novi Zagreb, Maksimir, Črnomerec, Trešnjevka, Dubrava and Sesvete, as well as in Velika Gorica, Samobor, Zaprešić, Dugo Selo and Sveta Nedelja. Depending on the scope, we also work at other locations in Croatia. The date depends on site access, suitable thermal conditions, airspace and the building’s safety requirements. For an assessment, send the address, photos or drawings, the type of surface and the question the inspection should answer.
We do not publish a made-up starting price before the actual scope is confirmed. We prepare the quote after reviewing the site, the survey goal and the expected deliverables, so the items and limitations are clear before a date is agreed.
The scope is mainly affected by the size and type of building, the number of inspection zones, survey conditions, the RGB pairs required, geolocation of findings and the content of the report. Additional regulatory procedures, travel costs or repeat surveys are listed separately when needed.
Send the location or a map link, the approximate area, the purpose of the material, the desired format and the deadline. We will reply with the proposed method, quote items and a realistic date.
The answers explain the general process. Exact feasibility depends on the location, airspace, weather, equipment and the purpose of the data.
Send another questionNo. A thermal camera registers the thermal radiation of the visible surface and cannot see through solid materials. Differences on the surface may point to a pattern worth checking further, but they do not automatically reveal its cause. That is why a thermogram is interpreted together with the structure, survey conditions and other available data.
The best time depends on the goal. For a building envelope, the difference between indoor and outdoor temperature is often important, while solar modules need to be in a suitable operating state. Sun, wind, rain and reflections can affect the image, so we set the date after reviewing the site and the task.
We do not issue an automatic final diagnosis based on an aerial thermogram alone. The deliverables show the observed temperature patterns, their position and RGB context. A building, electrical or other appropriate specialist then confirms the cause and decides on further testing or intervention. For a definitive answer we first review the specific site, goal and conditions of the planned activity.
A drone often allows an exterior inspection with less disruption to access than conventional methods, but that does not mean every site is suitable for surveying during normal operations. Safety procedures, the movement of people, equipment operation and the site owner’s requirements must be included in the mission plan.
Send the address, the type and approximate size of the building, any available photos, a description of the suspected issue and who will use the findings professionally. For electrical or industrial equipment, the layout of components and the expected operating state are useful. Based on this we propose the survey scope and delivery method.
EnergizeDrone, a brand of Energize Intelligent Solutions d.o.o. from Zagreb, provides RGB and thermal drone inspections for projects across Croatia. The team surveys roofs, solar power plants and technical systems, links each thermal finding with an RGB shot and location, and delivers the material for further review by an appropriate specialist.
Tell us which building or system you want inspected and what you want to check. Add the location, a photo or drawing and the contact details of the person responsible for maintenance. This lets us propose the survey conditions, the RGB context needed and a report format that will actually be usable.
