Drone aerial thermal imaging in Dijon

Free quote — aerial thermal imaging in Dijon

In Dijon, thermography quantifies what the heating bill hints at: every façade and roof plane gets its own heat-loss map, a sound basis for prioritising insulation. In Dijon as across the department (21), a local pilot travels with the equipment the mission requires — free quote within one working day.

Dijon's sky has become simpler since the former Dijon-Longvic base closed to commercial traffic, but the airfield remains with light and residual military activity south-east of the city: a check on the Géoportail drone map is required before every mission. The protected city centre — one of France's largest — falls under the built-up-area scenario with notification to the Côte-d'Or prefecture. Demand rests on heritage (the ducal palace, glazed-tile roofs, the Cité de la gastronomie et du vin) and above all on wine: the Route des Grands Crus starts at the city gates, and estates from Gevrey-Chambertin to Nuits-Saint-Georges buy plot mapping, frost monitoring and brand imagery all year round.

Rates

€500–1,800 per job — the range observed on the 2026 French market, including regulatory preparation, flight and delivery. Pricing reflects the conditions in Dijon: area, access constraints, any authorisations and the delivery format.

Airspace and formalities in Dijon

Thermographic flights in Dijon happen at low height over the building, compatible with the controlled airspace (Aérodrome de Dijon-Longvic (trafic résiduel)) after a protocol: the dawn slots needed for measurement are built into the coordination.

Drone thermography follows building-inspection rules — open category above the site, specific category in dense areas — plus the sensor's own constraint: flying at times of strong thermal contrast. Full regulations and rates: aerial thermal imaging across France →

Frequently asked questions

Aerial thermal imaging in Dijon: what budget should you plan?

Allow €500–1,800 per job — the 2026 French market range, including regulatory preparation, flight and delivery. In Dijon, coordination with the local airspace is included in the quote and arranged within a few days.

When is the best time for thermography in Dijon?

Heating season, October to March: you need at least a 10 °C gap between inside and outside for meaningful readings. In Dijon (Bourgogne-Franche-Comté), winter dawn slots give the best contrast; for photovoltaics it is the opposite — full summer sun.

Does the thermal camera measure exact temperatures?

Yes, provided a calibrated radiometric camera is used and material emissivity and ambient conditions are entered: typical accuracy is then ±2°C, sufficient for any building or photovoltaic survey.
