Infrared Thermography: A Guide to Detecting Heat Loss in Residential and Commercial Buildings
Maintaining a comfortable temperature in a building with poor insulation can be a challenge for building owners. Large family homes, for example, can lose heat quickly due to poor insulation and air leaks, especially in the winter. 24-hour operation buildings, like convenience stores and gas stations, can have high energy demands and poor insulation which can lead to heat loss. These issues are often difficult to identify for building owners, however, Infrared Thermography can help building owners identify these issues. Infrared Thermography helps identify variations in temperature in different building elements including heat loss in walls and ceilings. It can also be used to identify moisture in building elements. Additionally, Infrared Thermography can help identify air infiltration. What is Infrared Thermography? Infrared Thermography uses an infrared camera to detect surface temperature differences. It can help identify temperature patterns that may indicate hidden issues suc...
