BENEFITS OF THESE IMAGING TECHNIQUES
THERMAL IMAGING
THERMAL IMAGING
• INTRODUCTION
Thermal imaging is the technique of using the heat given off
by an object to produce an image of it or to locate it
First developed for military purposes in the late 1950s and
1960s by Texas Instruments, Hughes Aircraft and Honeywell
In recent times it is being used in firefighting, law
enforcement, industrial applications, security,
transportation, medical and many other industries

APPLICATION IN BUILDING DIAGNOSTICS
• Thermal cameras show exactly where the problems are quickly and help
detecting energy waste, moisture and electrical issues in buildings
• Thermal imaging is used for maintenance of electrical, mechanical, and
structural systems, to detect problems, prevent downtime, guide
corrective action, and increase work safety
• Using thermal imagers it's easy to scan an entire building to detect
building envelope, and plumbing issues, presence of moisture in building
envelopes, either from leakage or condensation and water damage
