Urban uses of Thermal Imaging

The frequency of thermal imaging services for industrial,commercial, residential and equine applications are increasing which are driving the cost of the technology downward. Many reports indicate a vast number of diagnostic problems that can be evaluated by altered heat signature.

 

The growing uses include;

 

• Estimated R-values of building components: used in detection of inadequate or deteriorated insulation of the building envelope.
• Detection of air infiltration: accounts for more than 30% of building energy losses. 
• Equipment performance: the first sign of impending equipment failure is increased heat. 
• Equine/veterinary evaluation: the first reaction to inflammation or injury is the increase of blood flow which is readily identifiable through thermal imaging.

Resources that assist with data collection, analysis and reporting include;
