If you do final inspections, energy assessments, or diagnose building problems infrared thermography is a tool to consider. See examples of how IR is being used. Learn about the new, lower-cost thermal imaging systems now available, including what they are, what they aren't, and how to evaluate them.

By attending this session, participants will

1. Understand the basics of infrared diagnostics in residential structures
2. Find out how not to be fooled by what you think you see
3. Recognize the value of using infrared thermography in building inspections and discover
    the benefits of using the latest infrared technologies, especially lower-cost cameras
