Studies indicate building sector to be the largest consumer of the total energy worldwide. This is because, maintaining a well-insulated building requires a large proportion of energy. These studies lead to the fact that the building sector also has the largest potential for optimizing energy efficiency.
There are countless advantages of establishing a well insulated building. An energy efficient building not only helps save the owner’s money but also creates uniform temperatures in the building for a comfortable occupant environment. Moreover, insulation being a permanent phenomenon does not require upkeep & maintenance & has least recurring expense.
Some of the frequently faced problems by most building experts are moisture, energy wastage & electrical problems. The quickest & easiest ways of detecting such problems is infrared thermography. An IR thermal camera accurately detects the problem area including those areas invisible to naked eye & captures visual images. These thermal images can help the building professionals in the proper diagnosis of the area for immediate repairs.
Thermography can be applied to various building issues:
Building Diagnostics: This involves a thorough & quick scanning of the entire building for detecting problem areas invisible to naked eye like plumbing & HVAC issues.
Moisture & Restoration: Moisture presence in building envelops can lead to serious consequences. IR cameras help detect water damage caused due to condensation or leakage.
Property & Facility Management: Downtime or power failures are not an option for facilities. Thermography proves to be a valuable tool here by preventing downtime, detecting energy & heat loss & aiding predictive maintenance programs for facilities.
Advantages of Thermography
- You get a visual picture
- So that you can compare temperatures over large area
- It is real time capable of catching moving targets
- Able to find deteriorating components prior to failure
- Measurement in areas inaccessible or hazardous
