What is building science thermography?

Warning: strtotime() [function.strtotime]: It is not safe to rely on the system's timezone settings. You are *required* to use the date.timezone setting or the date_default_timezone_set() function. In case you used any of those methods and you are still getting this warning, you most likely misspelled the timezone identifier. We selected 'America/New_York' for 'EST/-5.0/no DST' instead in /var/www/vhosts/bluegillenergy.com/httpdocs/libraries/joomla/utilities/date.php on line 56

FAQs - Building Science

Building science thermography is the knowledge and understanding of where and how heat transfers and air flows throughout a building. Thermography is one of the most valuable diagnostic tools for building efficiency. A scan detects thermal defects such as heat loss and air leakage in building envelopes. During a thermal scan, a specially designed infrared camera is used to take images called thermo grams that will show surface heat variations. The camera measures surface temperatures by capturing light that is in the heat spectrum. Images record the temperature variations of the building’s skin, ranging from white for warms regions to black for cooler areas.
