Use of infrared thermography and finite element analysis in building design

摘要

Thermal behaviour in a lightweight building system was studied. The study was performed on a building under construction. Two methods were used. First the building was investigated from the outside and inside with an infrared thermographic camera. Thereafter the thermal behaviour of a specific part of the building was evaluated with finite element analysis. The thermal behaviour of the building was thereafter evaluated by combining the result of the two different methods. This paper describes the methodology and results of the investigation.
