Assessing Retrofit External Wall Insulation Using Infrared Thermography

Energy auditors use thermography as a tool to help detect heat losses and air leakage in building envelopes.

Assessing retrofit external wall insulation using infrared thermography.

Jo is an architectural technologist and qualified thermographer. External wall insulation 2015. The purpose of this paper is to discuss the methodology and results of using thermography for pre retrofit pre r t and post retrofit post r t surveys undertaken to qualitatively assess retrofitted external wall insulation ewi on pre 1919 existing dwellings with solid exterior walls this study involved undertaking qualitative thermography surveys before and after. Assessing retrofitted ewi using infrared thermography.

Purpose this paper discusses the methodology and results of using thermography for pre retrofit pre r t and post retrofit post r t surveys undertaken to qualitatively assess retrofitted external wall insulation ewi on pre 1919 existing dwellings with solid exterior walls. The methodology and results of using thermography for pre retrofit pre r t and post retrofit post r t. The resulting thermograms help auditors determine whether a building needs insulation and where in the building it should go. Dr jo atkinson leads the carbon trust s housing related work.
