Infrared Thermography Building Sciences Application Course The Building Sciences Application Course is geared to IR camera users or practicing thermographers wanting focused training on how to apply infrared thermography to inspect commercial and residential buildings. COURSE HIGHLIGHTS Introduction to Thermal imaging systems for building inspection applications. Review infrared camera operation with hands on techniques. Review heat transfer and physics as it specifically applies to buildings. Learn safe inspection methods and techniques. Learn various photo documentation techniques including 35 mm, digital and video. Learn the basics of building construction including designs, terminology, building construction. Learn the basics of building science including the stack effect, moisture control, air control heating & cooling. Recognize the typical thermal patterns associated with traditional building defects. Discover moisture verification methods (penetrating/non-penetrating). Find out about water damage and drying methods Interpret thermograms and make informed decisions using heat transfer concepts to analyze images. Avoid costly mistakes-distinguish between hot spots and reflections, and direct vs. indirect readings. Practice and enhance your skills with custom built laboratory experiments TUITION A registration fee of $1750 includes 3.5 day seminar cost, lunch and all course materials.

FLIR BCAM Infrared Camera FLIR ThermaCAM® B2 Infrared Camera FLIR ThermaCAM® B20HS Infrared Camera

THE NEW "BCAM" YOU CAN LEASE FOR AS LITLE AS $99 PER MONTH. : Double pane window versus single pane windows. Interior infrared survey conducted during daytime hours reveals central area saturated with moisture and in need of immediate repair. The thermogram on the left shows water and moisture remaining from sprinklers that were activated during a fire that was knocked down about 11 hours earlier. Note how the IR thermography clearly identifies the wet areas in the insulation and building structure and on the floor by their relatively cooler temperatures. Building Diagnostics Moisture in building materials can destroy structural integrity and nurture mold. The first step in moisture problem remediation is to quickly and accurately locate and remove all sources of moisture. FLIR infrared cameras instantly show you what's wet and what's dry. IR cameras can instantly find the ultimate source with little or no physical disassembly of the premises and minimal disturbance of inhabitants. FLIR infrared cameras are the inspection assets preferred by building experts for fast, reliable, accurate building diagnosis in the entire range of building problems, from post-catastrophe fire and flood investigations to chronic leaks and moisture problems. FLIR ThermaCAM infrared cameras are lightweight and rugged for use in the field. They instantly capture and record high-resolution thermographic images on-board for subsequent downloading to a PC. They can also output full-motion infrared video records in real-time to a video recorder. Interchangeable lenses can accommodate all of the situations you will encounter. The thermogram (left) clearly shows a leaking bedroom ceiling (visible, right). The leak was assumed by the owner to originate in an upstairs marble-paneled bathroom in the $3 million home. The estimated cost to rip out and replace the marble to access the plumbing was estimated at $80,000! Further IR investigation absolved the bathroom and traced the source of the leak to a clogged weep hole under the threshold of a door leading to an upstairs porch. The thermogram of this vinyl-sided 3-floor apartment house clearly shows the path of a serious leak from a washing machine on the third floor, which is completely hidden within the wall. The thermographer used FLIR’s Image Builder software to automatically "stitch" the three individual thermographs into one fully thermographic collage.
