Important Notes –Infrared inspection requires a sufficient difference in temperature from inside to outside (ΔT of 10°C) for a sufficiently long period of time, to produce discernible differences between areas with studs and areas that may contain insulation. –Wet materials retain heat and change slower than dry areas of the same type building material. –Knowledge of building construction is necessary to properly diagnose the problem. Use IR thermography in conjunction with: –R-Value calculator and energy savings estimator –Dew point and wet spot location –Blower door testing –Duct leak testing ©2008 Infrared Training Center.
