TERMOGRAFIJA I ENERGETSKA UČINKOVITOST STAMBENIH OBJEKATA

Major part of energy in conventional dwelling structures is used for space heating. At older dwelling structures with no heating insulation at outer walls, as well as structures with inadequate construction and heating insulation, heat losses are evident and unavoidable. Infra red thermography proved as a very powerful, successful and simple method for detecting heat losses through construction elements. It is possible to detect structural and insulation failings based on results interpretations without destruction, and thus to increase energy efficiency of structures by removing the failings. The paper gives an overview of IC thermography potential for detecting heat losses and for assessing energy efficiency of dwelling structures proven on several cases using FLIR i7 IC camera.
