This guide now replaces our previous edition (TN09/2002) and includes information on updates to building regulations, advances in camera technology and improved methods of analysing images.
Thermal imaging equipment (commonly referred to as thermal cameras) is used to capture thermal images, ... By observing the distribution of surface temperatures in a building's fabric, anomalies and defects can be located, ...
and structural mechanics and material science that pertains to such tests; often these are specialist works that study a ... A major difference is between active thermography, where a heat pulse is used to excite the building fabric, ...
Figure 11.48 Thermography showing cold air movement and cold spots under depressurised conditions (images courtesy ... from the amount of moisture in the building fabric to thermal bridging, discontinuity of insulation and air leakage.
7.4.7 Congestion in Pipes Congested pipes can lead to sizable damage of the building fabric and the interior installations of the building. Possibly, the location of the congestion can be quickly detected by means of thermography.
It is hoped that you will find this volume an interesting, informative and useful resource for your research.
