Assessing retrofit external wall insulation using infrared thermography.

Emerald 2012 purpose this paper discusses the methodology and results of using thermography for pre retrofit pre r t and post retrofit post r t surveys undertaken to qualitatively assess retrofitted external wall insulation. Dr jo atkinson leads the carbon trust s housing related work. The resulting thermograms help auditors determine whether a building needs insulation and where in the building it should go. Assessing retrofitted external wall insulation using infrared thermography assessing retrofitted external wall insulation using infrared thermography joanne hopper.

Her doctorate focused on the evaluation of retrofitted external wall insulation where she developed a methodology for assessing its construction quality which included the use of thermography. The purpose of this paper is to discuss the methodology and results of using thermography for pre retrofit pre r t and post retrofit post r t surveys undertaken to qualitatively assess retrofitted external wall insulation ewi on pre 1919 existing dwellings with solid exterior walls this study involved undertaking qualitative thermography surveys before and after.
