Infrared Thermography as an Indicator of Heat Loss There have been challenges in identifying and locating air leaks and evaluating insulation performance. Thermography is being used increasingly these days as an effective diagnostic tool and the results have been promising. The technique of thermography combines photography and infrared sensing. We measure apparent surface temperatures directly with infrared sensing. Infrared cameras are used to capture thermal information in the form of images called thermograms. If given proper training, a person can read the thermograms to locate gaps in insulation and air leaks which are revealed in the form of heat loss. The information collected guides us effectively in making necessary repairs and gauging how good those repairs have been.

How thermography works Infrared videos and still images are used in thermography to measure surface temperatures. These tools help in spotting light present in the heat spectrum. The images record the temperature variations on a surface caused by heat loss where white indicates warm regions and black indicates cooler ones. When these images show heat loss, it tells the auditor where https://thermoelite.ca/ontario/
