There are many applications where thermal thermography is really helpful, for instance: Determination of external surface temperatures in the building, which will allow for the analysis of heat losses. This feature is fundamental if it is necessary to improve the building envelope. Easy visualization of 'Thermal Bridges' located in pillars, beams, windows...etc Detection of air infiltration: air is transparent to infrared radiation. Because of this, it can only be detected with an analysis of its effect on cooling/heating of the contact surfaces. Moisture detection due to condensation or air infiltration through the structure of the building, which allows a considerable savings. Discovery of materials no longer firmly attached to the external surface of the building, such as ceramic or marble tiles. If a tile is partially loosened, its temperature is different from the rest. This is due to the existing air between the tile and the concrete, which means a higher thermal resistance. The temperature difference is easily detected with the help of the infrared thermography.
