Thermal imaging audit is a study of a building carried out using a thermal imaging camera to assess its thermal insulation and airtightness. It involves recording infrared radiation emitted by the surfaces of partitions (walls, roof, windows, doors) and then analysing the images obtained (so-called thermograms).
The purpose of the thermal imaging audit is to:
- detecting areas of heat loss, thermal bridges and leaks,
- identification of defects in thermal insulation or moisture in the envelope,
- quality control of completed construction work (e.g. insulation, window installation),
- improving the energy efficiency of the building before or after modernisation.
Thermal imaging audit is often carried out during the heating period, with an adequate temperature difference between inside and outside.
