Infrared Inspections for Building Sciences

Description

During the past few years, one of the largest growth areas in thermography has been in the area of Building Sciences. Despite their present popularity, infrared inspections of building envelopes and associated systems remain some of the most complex types of infrared inspections. Proper collection and interpretation of data depend upon a thorough understanding of the systems inspected, their interaction with their surroundings, and the thermal patterns associated with defects. This course focuses on common applications and key considerations for accurate inspections. This course is a must for all thermographers wishing to perform infrared inspections of building structures.

Learning outcomes

This course will enable you to:

• recognize various applications of thermography to identify common building defects
• select appropriate thermal imaging equipment
• understand the interaction of various building systems
• recognize the pros and cons of aerial and ground-based inspections
• interpret common thermal anomalies
• choose appropriate verification and reporting techniques

Intended audience

This material is intended for anyone seeking to understand the various applications of thermography in the field of Building Sciences. Course is relevant for both contract and in-house thermographers.
