Any object that has a temperature above absolute zero (-273.15 degrees Celsius) emits radiation in the infrared region. Even ice cubes emit infrared radiation as they are well above absolute zero. The difference in range in temperature that the camera detects is shown as colours highlighting the cold and warm areas of the building.
We use a Flir E60bx camera which has a 240 x 320 detector and a thermal sensitivity which can detect 0.045 of a degree in temperature change. Used in conjunction with our Flir moisture meter, thermal imaging can be used to find a range of building defects which include the following:
