DIAG 5 - Using & Interpreting Infrared

Wednesday, August 16, 2006  ·  3:30 PM - 5:00 PM

If you do final inspections, training, energy assessments, or diagnose building problems, thermography is a tool to consider. Case studies of weatherized homes will sharpen your ability to interpret IR images. 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, particularly as it relates to insulation inspections
  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
