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