Assessing Retrofit External Wall Insulation Using Infrared Thermography

External wall insulation 2015.

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. Dr jo atkinson leads the carbon trust s housing related work. The resulting thermograms help auditors determine whether a building needs insulation and where in the building it should go. The methodology and results of using thermography for pre retrofit pre r t and post retrofit post r t.

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. Emerald 2012 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. Assessing retrofitted external wall insulation using infrared thermography assessing retrofitted external wall insulation using infrared thermography joanne hopper. Jo is an architectural technologist and qualified thermographer.

Exterior wall insulation installation â defects identified post retrofit using thermography 2 8 there are a number of work packages for this project as outlined in table 1 below. 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. Her doctorate focused on the evaluation of retrofitted external wall insulation where she developed a methodology for assessing its construction quality which included the use of thermography. Infrared scanning allows energy auditors to check the effectiveness of insulation in a building s construction.
