Innovations in Building Diagnostics and Condition Monitoring: A Comprehensive Review of Infrared Thermography Applications

Infrared thermography is a non-destructive technique that uses infrared radiation to visualize surface temperature variations. It is a versatile tool that can be used to detect a variety of problems in buildings, including insulation deficiencies, moisture intrusion, structural compromise, and electrical faults. The review paper discusses the fundamental principles of infrared thermography, the different types of infrared approaches, and the condition monitoring of buildings using infrared imaging techniques. It also discusses research showing how infrared thermography has been applied to recognize and solve different building-related problems. The article highlights the potential for infrared thermography to advance while also acknowledging its current limits. Infrared thermography is predicted to become an even more effective technique for building diagnostics with the development of more sensitive cameras and the incorporation of artificial intelligence.
