Thermography & Building Inspection

Thermography is the process of detecting and measuring an object's thermal energy with an infrared camera for locating areas of temperature differential in a building or system. In the industrial sector, it can be used to accurately measure if electrical or mechanical operations are within normal temperature ranges. By doing so, we can prevent costly repairs and potential downtime. As such, it can improve manufacturing efficiencies.

It can also manage energy through heat loss analysis, improve product quality by checking on a product's integrity and enhance worker safety through environmental impact surveys. Even cold objects can be measured with thermography as it also measures infrared energy. All objects emit heat. This heat--thermal energy--is not visible to the human eye because of its short wavelength and thus needs to be measured under the infrared spectrum. The process of thermography measures this heat and presents a picture of the heat being emitted. By measuring an object's heat, we can detect anomalies and take possible corrective actions.
