The most efficient and useful Infrared Energy Inspections and Audits

Energy audit should be done in every home to reduce the energy loss and maximise the efficiency of the energy used. Infrared is electromagnetic radiation. Infrared has its application in many areas of science. It can be used in telecommunication. Infrared imaging is also used for military purposes.The ToughCam Pro is the ideal tool for thermal infrared energy audit applications.

An infrared energy audit is the initial energy inspection to assess how much energy is used by the particular service or device. By this energy audit we can make decisions about the efficient energy use and efficient way to visibly establish the root cause of energy loss and develop a viable plan to rectify these problems.This infrared audit can examine the heating and cooling systems attached to the particular area under inspection.

We know that every particle on earth has different properties. Material science has great interest to analyse these properties. These properties will change with temperature, pressure etc. Thermal analysis is the study about the change in properties of the material when temperature is changed. Thermal analysis can be done at constant temperature or at varying temperatures. Controlling the environment is very important in thermal analysis . Only the presence of inert gases are allowed during the thermal analysis .The heat transfer through the materials are also studied by the thermal analysis. Thermal analysis can measure the heat capacity of a materials and their thermal productivity. Thermal analysis can be done in diffrent types of materials like metals,food etc. All objects at temperature above absolute zero will emit thermal radiations.

For remote sensing in the visible infrared we have to analyse the constant thermal properties. The main source of thermal infrared radiations is the shortwave solar energy. Infrared energy inspection can provide the real time data to the client about equipment failure and energy loss. It is used for petro-chemical, manufacturing, offshore drilling, shipping, commercial building, construction and residential clients.

The infrared thermal imaging is very useful for the client's program. Infrared thermal imaging can illustrate the size of the problem. The result of any infrared inspections should be examined by only experienced technicians .The infrared thermal imaging can make the clients confident about thier project,because they can recieve the best results through infrared thermal imaging .All of the thermal imaging cameras make use of infrared radiations.
Infrared Thermography is a type of infrared imaging science.

Next we can discuss briefly about the working of infrared cameras.This type of cameras can detect the radiations coming from the infrared spectrum.Then these camras can produce the image from that radiation coming from the electro magnetic spectrum.The emitted radiations depend on the temperature. It will increase when the temperature increases. Thermal imaging can help the fireflighters to localize the base of the fire and to see through the smoke by using infrared thermal imaging.

Chemical imaging,medical imaging,nightvision and volcanology are the important application of thermography. Infrared Thermography can be widely used for energy audits. Infrared home energy audits can protect homeowners from unnecessary energy loss.
