Thermal bridges, insulation defects and building envelope air leakage can form hidden energy gaps, or inefficiencies that ...

As colder months set in, building heat loss becomes more costly. With buildings' operational energy use representing about 30% of global final energy consumption (IEA), Raytron's infrared thermal ...

The first step in evaluating a building’s energy use involves an energy audit. This consists of various home performance tests that identify opportunities to reduce energy use. More HVAC contractors ...

Hearing the demand to reduce escalating energy costs for homeowners and small businesses, Flemming Lund three years ago added infrared energy audits to his home inspection business, Apex Home ...

Of the most commonly used inspection techniques, infrared inspection is probably the least understood. Companies fail to appreciate its value because they don't fully understand exactly what it is and ...

The principles behind infrared inspection of printed-circuit boards (PCBs) are relatively straightforward. Simply stated, a faulty circuit produces more or less heat than a good one does. Assuming you ...

Predictive maintenance (PdM) involves monitoring equipment over time for conditions that indicate impending failure, determining whether corrective action is required and, if necessary, taking action ...

Infrared thermography has emerged as a pivotal non‐destructive technique for enhancing the energy performance of buildings. By utilising thermal cameras to capture surface temperature distributions, ...

Colleen Murach, a Con Edison technical associate, removes an infrared camera from its packaging for an underground crew working on a Brooklyn street. Two components are essential to the transmission ...
