A COMPLETE GUIDE TO BUILDING THERMAL IMAGING
20/02/2013 FLIR Systems UK (*Teledyne FLIR)
The latest publication from the thermal imaging experts, FLIR Systems, focuses on building science. Of all the fields of application for this technology, this is certainly one of the fastest growing. As the building sector accounts for 40% of the EU's energy requirements it holds considerable potential for minimising waste and thermal imaging is the ideal tool for pinpointing energy loss.The new, forty page book provides an introduction to the science behind infrared but mainly provides feedback from users on why thermal imaging has proved a good investment for their application. Testimony from users in the field of energy auditing and assessment of insulation integrity, HVAC systems, water leakage, condensation and mould build-up feature heavily.
Application stories are included from across Europe and range from museum and swimming pool management to the efficient design of emergency shelters, passive housing and solar panel inspection. They give a good flavour of the extent to which thermal imaging is now effectively applied.
The final chapter of the book provides a guide for selecting the best type of camera for the job and emphasises the importance of dedicated software to achieve the greatest operational benefits. It also introduces the reader to several unique features available from FLIR such as detail-enhanced imaging with MSX technology and the wide range of connectivity options.
Entitled Thermal Imaging for Building Diagnostics - discover a wide variety of applications; the book is available as a PDF download or may be ordered as a hardcopy from www.flirfeed.com/applicationguidebook/building/index.html
