Infrared Thermal Imaging Inspection
An infrared camera takes a picture of the heat of a surface. This may be particularly valuable information when considering concerns with insulation, condensation, overheating, or water infiltration.
Matrix Property Inspections uses a Fluke Ti32. It is a high resolution 320x240 Focal plane array detector type with a 0.05 degree sensitivity camera for optimal quality. These high end cameras are compliant with "National Master Specification" for Thermal Imaging. As a Level 1 thermographer, Greg Keith has the experience in building envelope and training to provide valuable information on potential concerns.
Requirements
Infrared camera are very sensitive. With this high level of sensitivity, it is understandable that some conditions such as wind and sun can impact the results. The minimum recommended difference in temperature between the interior and the exterior is 10 degrees C. As well, The wind should be less than 16 km/hr.
