IR Thermography for Weatherization
Course Description
This 4 day course is intended to give the student the knowledge base
necessary to perform IR surveys of residences, primarily single family homes,
(although the IR camera is an invaluable tool for performing building
diagnostics in multifamily buildings) in order to identify building performance
issues. A good weatherization IR survey can identify thermal anomalies that
indicate missing insulation and insulation defects due to damage, moisture
and/or improper installation. The IR survey can also provide indication of air
infiltration and exfiltration as well as indicating the presence of moisture.
The class covers IR camera setup and operation, image downloading and basic
report generation, fundamentals of IR theory and heat transfer, techniques, tips
and tricks for weatherization IR surveys and application examples. It will cover
the environmental conditions necessary for a successful weatherization IR
survey, as well as pitfalls to avoid.
