Infrared Thermography

Infrared thermography is a technology developed a number of years ago by the U.S. Department Defense for use in threat identification and targeting on the battlefield. In the last few years manufacturing advances have decreased the cost of such cameras so they are now within in reach of building professionals. Infrared cameras are now being used to assist in the design, construction and commissioning of all types of buildings. The cameras detect heat differentials to identify patterns, such as moisture, air leaks, thermal transfer that should not be present in a building envelope. These patterns help to identify areas which cannot be seen by the naked eye.
