Thermal imaging cameras for building diagnostics and renewable energy
FLIR Systems: the world leader in thermal imaging cameras FLIR Systems is the world leader in the design, manufacturing and marketing of thermal imaging systems for a wide variety of commercial, industrial and government applications. FLIR Systems’ thermal imaging systems use stateof-the-art infrared imaging technology that detects infrared radiation - or heat. Based on detected temperature differences, thermal imaging cameras can create a crisp image.
INFRARED: more than meets the eye Infrared - part of the electro magnetic spectrum Our eyes are detectors that are designed to detect visible light (or visible radiation). There are other forms of light (or radiation) that we cannot see. The human eye can only see a very small part of the electromagnetic spectrum. At one end of the spectrum we cannot see ultraviolet light, while at the other end our eyes cannot see infrared.
Why use thermal imaging cameras? Why would you choose a FLIR thermal imaging camera? There are other technologies available to help you measure temperatures in a non-contact mode. Infrared thermometers for example. Infrared thermometers vs thermal imaging cameras Infrared (IR) thermometers are reliable and very useful for single-spot temperature readings, but, for scanning large areas, it’s easy to miss critical parts like air leakages, areas with insufficent insulation or water intrusion.
Thermal imaging cameras for building diagnostics Since the 1970s we have become increasingly conscious that energy resources are precious and limited. Thermal imaging cameras can help you to make insulation problems and other building anomalies clearly visible. This way not only corrective actions can be taken but also energy can be saved. The building sector accounts for 40% of the EU’s energy requirements and offers the largest single potential for energy efficiency.
