Transforming Building Envelope Inspections

Analysis of the envelope can often be a huge undertaking due to lack of access and time. To tackle this issue in an efficient manner, Joulea proposes a new method to building inspections and diagnostics. To test this method, in the summer of 2023, Joulea undertook a comprehensive pilot project on two Class A office towers.

One tower was a 25-story, 550,000-square-foot building, and the other was a 27-story, 600,000-square-foot building. Leveraging advanced AI and autonomous drone technology, this project aimed to efficiently identify and diagnose envelope issues faster, cheaper, and more comprehensively than traditional methods.
