Guidelines
As will be noted in subsequent sections there are a number of general guidelines the
user should take heed of when carrying out building thermography inspection. This
section gives a summary of these guidelines.
7.2.1.1
General guidelines
■
The emissivity of the majority of building materials fall between 0.85 and 0.95.
Setting the emissivity value in the camera to 0.90 can be regarded as a good
starting point.
■
An infrared inspection alone should never be used as a decision point for further
actions. Always verify suspicions and findings using other methods, such as con-
struction drawings, moisture meters, humidity & temperature datalogging, tracer
gas testing etc.
■
Change level and span to thermally tune the infrared image and reveal more details.
The figure below shows the difference between a thermally untuned and a thermally
tuned infrared image.
