Short Course 5: Infrared Inspections for Building Diagnostics

During the past few years, one of the largest growth opportunities in thermography has been in the area of Building Diagnostics.  Despite their present popularity, infrared inspections of building envelopes and associated systems remain some of the most complex types of infrared inspections.  Proper collection and interpretation of data depend upon a thorough understanding of the systems inspected, their interaction with their surroundings, and the thermal patterns associated with defects.  This course focuses on common applications and key considerations for accurate inspections. 

This course is a must for all thermographers wishing to accurately perform infrared inspections of building structures.
