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...

Thermal Camera Applications: A Complete Guide to Infrared Inspection Technology

Infrared inspection technology revolutionized the way professionals perform nondestructive evaluations. This technology combines thermography and infrared technology and allows professionals to identify issues that are not visible to the naked eye. Many mechanical and electrical systems are visually inspected for inconsistencies and potential failures. Thermal imaging can be used to inspect systems for latent issues that may be concealed from traditional means. Thermal Camera Applications can help identify water and moisture issues as well. Using thermal imaging to evaluate electrical systems can help find electrical issues that may become failures. Breaker and fuse issues are electrical issues that are often found with thermal imaging. Thermal imaging is a valuable technology that allows users to detect and help diagnose issues that typically are not visible. This technology can help professionals reduce the risk of failures and equipment breakdowns. Thermal imaging equipment allows ...

How Infrared Cameras Improve Building Inspections and Prevent Energy Loss

Image
Most building owners don't realize how much energy their buildings are losing, due to invisible or concealed issues. Insufficient insulation, hidden moisture, air leaks, overheating of components, and uneven heating systems can lead to increased energy use and costs. Some issues related to traditional building inspections can be remedied, but concealed issues usually have to be discovered by specialized equipment. Infrared technology has been a true game-changer in this regard. Since infrared cameras detect heat radiation, infrared inspections help building owners and managers find hidden or out-of-view issues without the need to remove materials and/or disturb the systems in a building. Better yet, inspections can then be done quicker, easier, and with more valuable insights. The use of infrared thermographic inspections can help discover several building deficiencies related to heat loss, moisture issues, faulty insulation, and other building-related issues. An inspection using i...
