abstract: Thermal imaging -or infrared thermography- is the use of infrared imaging camera to show and
determine the surface temperature via measuring the thermal energy emitted from an object. Thermal
imaging is a nondestructive test. The structures of historic buildings commonly exhibit performance
problems that are basically appeared during different construction and maintenance phases in
numerous years of their existence. These problems can impact comfort conditions, building energy
performance and structural integrity.
Regardless of building type, thermal imaging can provide remarkable information about the historic
buildings including;
- Validation of structural details,
- Location of thermal bridges and insulation failures,
- Location of air leakage,
- Location of moisture intrusion,
- Location of condensation in the building envelope,
- Identification of structural, mechanical and electrical degradation and aging infrastructure.
In this article, numerous useful applications of thermal imaging technology for inspection of the
historic building envelopes have been studied. Also considerations, requirements and related
inspection methods for historic buildings are being surveyed.
