Infrared technology can benefit building envelopes in several ways:
- Identifying thermal leaks: Infrared cameras can detect differences in temperature between the interior and exterior of a building, helping to identify areas where air leaks or insulation problems may be present. This can help to pinpoint problem areas and allow for targeted repairs, improving energy efficiency and reducing heating and cooling costs.
- Monitoring building performance: Infrared technology can be used to monitor the performance of a building over time, helping to identify changes in energy use and potential issues with insulation, air infiltration, and other building envelope components. This information can be used to guide maintenance and renovation efforts, ensuring that the building remains energy-efficient and comfortable over time.
- Enhancing occupant comfort: By improving energy efficiency, infrared technology can help to maintain a more consistent temperature and reduce drafts, improving occupant comfort. In addition, infrared cameras can be used to identify areas of a building that are too hot or too cold, allowing for targeted repairs to improve occupant comfort.
- Identifying moisture intrusion: Infrared cameras can detect moisture intrusion, which can lead to mold growth and other problems. By identifying areas where moisture is present, repairs can be made to prevent further damage and improve indoor air quality.
Overall, infrared technology can help to improve the energy efficiency and comfort of building envelopes, while also identifying potential issues and guiding maintenance efforts over time.
