Infrared Training for Commercial Building Inspections

Infrared Thermal Imaging is a versatile and effective tool for detecting issues in commercial structures. These include: hidden moisture in walls, insulation problems in roofing, leaks in heating systems, electrical faults, air leaks, and more.

Water infiltration through insulated low slope roofing systems and walls is a common issue on commercial buildings. If not addressed, moisture infiltration can lead to significant damage, with repair costs ranging from thousands to millions of dollars.

Insulation deficiencies can lead to high costs for heating and cooling a building, as well as discomfort for occupants. Infrared technology can easily locate water and air infiltration issues, but the accuracy of the data depends on the thermographer's expertise and equipment quality.

An infrared commercial building inspection to detect insulation or moisture issues, hydronic floor heating leaks, or air infiltration requires specific conditions, timing, and equipment for accuracy.

Examination techniques and key considerations for successful infrared inspection of commercial structures are addressed in the Infraspection Institute Level-I Certified Infrared Thermographer® course, the Infrared Thermography for Building Sciences application course, and the Infrared Thermography for Building Envelopes and Roofs application course. These courses and exams can be completed online and at your own pace via Distance Learning.
