BuildScanIR™, a division
of Stockton Infrared Thermographic Services, Inc., has announced
its co-sponsorship of IR/INFO 2008. Hosted annually by Infraspection
Institute, IR/INFO is an educational conference and technical
symposium for infrared thermography and related P/PM, PdM and
NDT technologies. IR/INFO 2008 will be held January 13-16, 2008,
at the Holiday Inn International Drive Resort Hotel in Orlando,
Florida.
Greg Stockton, President of SITS states, “Thermography
has become an integral inspection tool for many building and
home inspectors. To be effective, an infrared thermographer
must know the limitations of their imager, the way that buildings
absorb and radiate heat energy, and the best time to perform
a given IR survey. He/she must have an imager capable of finding
and documenting problems and most importantly, an understanding
of thermal dynamics and building physics.”
Jim Seffrin, Director of Infraspection Institute
adds, “We are very pleased to be working with BuildScanIR™.
The past few years have seen increased usage of thermography
for building diagnostics. In light of this, for IR/INFO 2008
we have expanded our coverage of infrared thermography for building
diagnostics. We look forward to many valuable contributions
from BuildScanIR™ members.”
At IR/INFO 2008, BuildScanIR™ thermographers
from across the country will be presenting cutting edge papers
and short courses on specialized applications for buildings.
“This is an opportunity for BuildScanIR™ thermographers
from very different climates to share their experiences in building
thermography with others who wish to learn about this valuable
building evaluation tool,” says Greg Stockton.
Mr. Seffrin concludes, “Thermography
is a dynamic technology that is constantly evolving. IR/INFO
is an excellent way to keep abreast of current industry trends,
challenges and opportunities. At IR/INFO 2008, attendees will
have the opportunity to learn from leading industry experts
and to share ideas and experiences with their peers in an open,
relaxed atmosphere. Regardless of your experience level, IR/INFO
is a must-attend event for all professional thermographers.”

Stockton
Infrared Thermographic Services, founded in 1989
by Gregory R. Stockton, is an industry leader and innovator
of a number of infrared applications. BuildScanIR™
Network is the largest group of private thermographers in
North America. Membership in the network is free and the site
is geared toward educating home inspectors, homeowners, building
inspectors, building managers, and service providers as to the
uses of infrared thermography in building sciences. BuildScanIR™
Services provides state-of-the-art building infrared thermographic
surveys used in litigation to locate structural defects, track
down moisture in building components, find missing insulation,
detect thermal envelope problems and discover building design
flaws.
