Thermographic Analysis
Infrared (IR) thermography is a nondestructive diagnostic technique that, by measuring the infrared radiation of an object, is able to determine its surface temperature. The analysis is performed with an infrared camera, a device of equipment that captures a thermal image of the object's surface without requiring any contact with the object.
The operation of the thermal imaging camera is based on the ability of objects to absorb and release heat. The instrument generates maps in different colors that associate a detected temperature with a corresponding color.

- Localization of infiltrations and thermal bridges.
- Detection of infiltrations.
- Detection of dew points for mold prevention.
- Detection of piping routes of water systems.
- Verification of heating system efficiency with detection of any thermal efficiency decay traits.
- Thermographic audits of building thermal performance and qualitative assessment of buildings.
- Thermographic analysis to support the preparation of building energy certifications.
- Analysis of cracking phenomena below masonry coatings and plasters with localization of detachment of masonry coatings and plasters.
- Verification of floor slab displacement.
Benefits for companies
- Non-invasive testing
- No interruption of activities carried out in the buildings during the execution of tests
- Increased safety in case of short circuits
- Lower maintenance costs
- Lower insurance costs: discounts on insurance premiums in case of fire insurance
