TECHNICAL QUALITY CONTROL AND TRANSDISCIPLINARY TESTING REQUIREMENTS OF BUILDING ENCLOSURES.

Abstract

The suggested methodology extends the term building enclosure diagnostics to cover various applications and levels of infrared (IR) technology in conjunction with other techniques for diagnosing the performance of building enclosures in relation to total building performances. Basic to these thermographic applications is the ability for producing repeatable procedures which guarantees stable thermal images of the radiant energy emitted by all objects. However, the majority of building enclosure diagnostics require techniques guaranteed with an operator's expertise in building science enabling correct interpretation of thermal patterns on the IR images.
