How Does a Thermal Image Help Diagnose Issues in Buildings\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n

So how does a thermal image help to identify and diagnose problems in new and existing buildings? A thermal image<\/a> is effectively an image of thousands of surface temperature measurements, this makes it easy to see where insulation is missing, or air is leaking in or out of a building.<\/p>\n

\"thermal_Imaging_equipment_building_surveys\"<\/p>\n

Visible light forms only a small part of the electromagnetic spectrum, and the only part that humans can see. When pointed at an object or area such as the side of a wall, the sensor on a thermal detection camera allows the user to view the otherwise invisible infrared spectrum, which exists at wavelengths between visible light and microwaves. The resulting thermal image is usually rendered as a colour map, with the warmer components or regions shown as reds, oranges, and yellows, while cooler parts will typically be shown as purples and blues – green usually indicates areas that are roughly at room temperature.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Always use high quality thermal imaging cameras<\/h3>\n

Our high quality\u00a0 thermal imaging cameras<\/a> have a minimum resolution of 640 x 480 and also include a standard shooting mode that works with the visible light spectrum, much like a standard point and shoot digital camera. This allows for easy comparison of two identical shots, the first image in Infrared and the second image in normal photographic mode, this quickly helps to identify specific problem areas once the our thermography engineer<\/a>\u00a0 steps out from behind the lens and compares images. In all cases the higher resolution the thermal camera retains, the more detail that can be captured and scrutinised as part of our reportage.<\/p>\n

\"thermal<\/p>\n

Any surveyed objects not generating or absorbing heat will tend towards the surrounding air temperature, so cold air leaking through the building envelope will show as cold patches on the wall, floor or ceilings. Warm air leaking from a building envelope will cause warm patches on the outside wall or roof. Thermal imaging surveys<\/a> alone can be used as a quick method of finding air leaks in a building structure, however the accuracy can be further improved if used in conjunction with an air tightness test which can better quantify the air leakage of a building. in most cases a combined thermal and air tightness test<\/a> is the best option for fault diagnoses in building envelopes.<\/p>\n
