Energy managers and thermal insulation contractors have found thermography extremely useful as a means for identifying defects and upgrading insulation.
Visual evidence of poor performance of insulation presented to senior management brings the message home far more quickly and vividly than pages of reports and calculations.
The principal purpose of thermography in building applications is to locate defects and shortcomings in the thermal insulation of external walls, roofs, and floors, and to determine the type and extent of the defect. It is also important in determining whether the element of construction possesses the stipulated insulation and air-tightness properties.
