Algorithm for Integrated Non-Destructive Diagnostics of Technical Condition of Structures of Buildings and Constructions Using the Thermogram Analysis

摘要

An algorithm for integrated non-destructive diagnostics of technical condition of structures of buildings and constructions using the temperature field analysis is proposed. An attempt is made to systematize, characterize and build a logical sequence of stages for energy inspection of heat-consuming and heat-generating construction objects and their structural elements. The presented algorithm differs from the well-known technologies for energy monitoring of buildings and structures by the presence of two additional steps, which are an integrated part of any energy examination: determination of the relative surface humidity of building structures and the actual mass flow of coolant through a heating system using qualitative and quantitative assessment of thermal images. The implementation of energy (thermal imaging) and technical examinations according to the presented structural scheme requires appropriate equipment, as well as involvement of highly qualified specialists (civil engineers, thermal power engineers, thermal physicists, thermal imaging operators, etc.).
