Using Thermographic Building Inspection’s to detect defects within building envelopes How Do Thermography Inspections Work Thermography measures surface temperatures of buildings by using infrared cameras. These instruments see light that is in the heat spectrum. Images on the video record the temperature variations of the building’s envelope, ranging from white – for warm regions, to …
What is a Thermographic Building Inspection? Thermographic building inspection refers to the non-destructive testing of parts, materials or systems through the imaging of the thermal patterns at the object’s surface. Infrared thermography is a non-destructive, non-intrusive, noncontact mapping of thermal patterns or “thermograms”, on the surface of objects through the use of some kind of infrared detector. We usually …
