Aerial Photography and Skylights Provide a Unique View
Christoph stopped at the VELUX booth to chat about the benefits of skylights, how they can be applied and some other interesting tips for facility managers and building owners.
He also chatted with Nearmap, a company that is helping building professionals see, track and measure any roof damage or deterioation. This technology allows for a more accurate estimate of cost to repair among other positives.
