Why Infrared Thermography Is Required for Miami-Dade Recertification
The Building Officials Research Association (BORA) updated its infrared thermography guidelines in November 2021 requiring infrared thermography for all Miami-Dade 40-Year Building Recertifications where the building has an electrical service of 400 amperes or larger. The thermography report must be submitted as part of the sealed recertification package to the local building department.
BORA requires the thermographer to hold a minimum of 7 years of documented infrared thermography field experience. The thermography report must be reviewed and sealed by a Florida Licensed Professional Engineer.
Our Infrared Thermography Credentials
NDT/PdM Level III Certified Infrared Thermographer — Infraspection Institute CIT® — the highest professional designation in infrared thermography, recognized by BORA and all Miami-Dade building departments
ISO 18436-7 Category III — IPI Learning and Certified Infrared Thermographers Association (CITA) — international standard for condition monitoring, Category III is the highest level
ASNT SNT-TC-1A Written Practice — American Society for Nondestructive Testing — company-specific written practice for infrared thermography personnel qualification
4,000+ Documented OJT Hours — significantly exceeding BORA's 7-year field experience requirement
NIST-Calibrated FLIR E-96 — 640×480 resolution, less than 30mK thermal sensitivity, NIST-traceable calibration current through 12/09/2025
P.E.-Sealed Reports — every thermography report signed and sealed by a Florida Licensed Professional Engineer
Why Level III Thermography Matters for BORA Compliance
Not all infrared thermographers meet BORA's requirements for Miami-Dade recertification. Many contractors perform thermography with only a certificate of training — no documented OJT hours, no written practice, no ISO 18436-7 certification. A training certificate alone does not satisfy BORA's 7-year field experience requirement.
BORA specifically requires:
Demonstrated field experience — documented OJT hours per ASNT or Infraspection Institute records
NIST-traceable calibrated infrared camera — calibration records must be current
P.E.-sealed thermography report — signed and sealed by a Florida Licensed Professional Engineer
Thermal and visual image pairs for all exception findings
Temperature differential and emissivity data for all measurements
We satisfy every BORA requirement. Ask your thermographer for their certification number, written practice document, and camera calibration certificate before accepting any recertification package.
What Our Thermography Inspection Covers
Our BORA-compliant infrared thermography inspection surveys all energized electrical distribution equipment in the building under normal load conditions:
Main service entrance equipment and utility metering
Main disconnect panels and overcurrent protective devices
Main distribution panels and sub-panels
Motor control centers (MCCs)
Transformer connections and terminations
Bus ducts and bus bars
Circuit breaker connections and terminations
Generator and automatic transfer switch connections
All other energized electrical equipment accessible during the inspection
What the P.E.-Sealed Thermography Report Includes
Complete equipment inventory with location, amperage rating, and voltage
Thermal and visual image pairs for all equipment scanned
Temperature differential and emissivity data for all measurements
Exception findings categorized by severity — Immediate Action, Scheduled Maintenance, Monitor
Corrective action recommendations for all deficiencies
Thermographer certification credentials and camera calibration reference
P.E. seal and signature of the engineer of record
Infrared Thermography as Part of the 40-Year Recertification Package
Infrared thermography is one of the four required components of the Miami-Dade 40-Year Building Recertification package. We perform all four components in a single site visit:
Structural inspection — P.E.-sealed assessment of all structural systems
Electrical inspection — P.E.-sealed evaluation of the electrical distribution system
Infrared thermography — BORA-compliant Level III IR scan of all 400A+ equipment
Parking lot illumination — foot-candle measurement report per §8C-2 and §8C-3
Infrared Thermography for NFPA 70B Electrical Maintenance
Beyond recertification, infrared thermography is a core component of NFPA 70B 2023 Electrical Safety Maintenance Programs. We provide annual and periodic thermography surveys for commercial and industrial facilities as part of ongoing NFPA 70B maintenance programs, with P.E.-sealed reports and trending analysis across inspection cycles.
