Application of G100/120 Thermal Imaging Camera in Energy Efficiency Measuring in Building Construction

Abstract

A measurement of energy efficiency in the construction industry aims to reduce permanently energy requirements in design, construction and use of new buildings, sannation and reconstruction of the existing ones. Over the long term, with the expected increasing in the price of energy and the development of awareness about energy conservation and environmental protection, thermal imaging methods will certainly find their wide application in the construction industry. Infrared thermal camera is used to estimate the temperature. However, we do not see all the details of interest on the thermal image, therefore we suggest using the fusion of visual and thermal images of the same part of the building recorded simultaneously. The analysis images of the object obtained by fusion of television and infrared thermal imaging shows the areas of interest for further processing.
