Infrared Thermography for Building Moisture Inspection
Springer International Publishing (Verlag)
978-3-319-75385-0 (ISBN)
This book presents the state-of-the-art in infrared thermography (IRT) applications with a focus on moisture assessment in buildings. It also offers practical discussions of several case studies, including comparisons of IRT with other surface temperature measurement techniques. In closing, it demonstrates how IRT can be used to assess capillary absorption, and addresses moisture in walls due to wind-driven rain infiltrations, and the drying process.
The book equips readers with a deeper understanding of the ideal conditions for accurate IRT assessment and offers practical recommendations.

Introduction.- Buildings and infrared thermography.- Case study 1 - Measurement of surface temperature using different devices.- Case study 2 - IRT versus moisture: laboratory tests on full-scale model.-Case study 3 - IRT versus moisture: in situ tests on indoor environment.- Case study 4 - IRT versus drying: in situ tests on outdoor environment.- Conclusions and recommendations.
"This book is aimed at academics looking to read about research in the field of thermography. ... Work is very well referenced and researched there are no bombshell revelations to be found in this work." (The Maintenance Corner, July 15, 2019)
