Thermal Imaging

Thermography makes it possible to see one's environment with or without visible llumination by detecting radiation in the infrared range of the electromagnetic spectrum. Since infrared radiation is emitted by all objects and the amount of radiation emitted by an object increases with temperature; therefore, thermography allows one to see ariations in temperature. When viewed through a thermal imaging camera, warm objects stand out well against cooler backgrounds; or vice versa. A FLIR Thermal imaging device offers a noninvasive means of monitoring and diagnosing the condition of buildings. It provides immediate documentation of as-built or post restoration quality, post-casualty cause and origin data, plumbing and building envelope water leakage, post-flood and fire water-damaged material assessment, energy use inefficiency, roofing, and even rodent or pest discovery.
