Introduction for Technicians to Infrared Thermography in Water Intrusion and Restoration of Buildings
This one-day, hands-on course focuses on the
detection of moisture and mold-growth conditions using the infrared
camera. It is designed specifically for the experienced water
damage/restoration technician who is a first-time infrared camera
user. |
This course teaches the technician how to use an infrared camera to
inspect commercial and residential water damaged buildings. The student
will learn how to recognize and document thermal patterns associated
with traditional building problems, and to evaluate and verify the cause
and extent of water intrusion in the context of property damage investigation
and restoration. Lecture and laboratory components cover the basics
of infrared camera operation, building fundamentals, including building
design and construction, how to detect and evaluate moisture in building
components, and how to dry structures effectively and efficiently. The
instruction is geared to the first-time infrared camera user. No infrared
thermography experience is necessary. However, students are required
to provide their own infrared camera.
