Thermography

Thermal Images and Thermographs for Industry and Building Physics

From energy certification for buildings right up to damage assessment in industrial plants – today, thermography has become an indispensable non-destructive test method in many fields. In industrial diagnostics, thermal cameras help our experts detect fault conditions during operation. In building physics, thermographic results are the basis for building tests to determine the tightness of a structure and for identifying hidden defects.
