When using on a building, it is important that the panel’s ability to function effectively is established. The use of a thermal imaging camera for solar panel evaluation will allow any problems to be clearly found on panels that are installed and those that are at the pre-installation stage.

Thermal imaging cameras have been used in court cases where, in the case of building problems, the infrared camera has been used to establish the facts of the case. One such case was an Italian dispute concerning moisture ingress and mould formation in a brand new apartment building. The inhabitants of the apartments felt that the building construction was flawed but the building contractor blamed the inhabitants for not ventilating the apartments.

Thermal cameras help spot clinical problems in horses to help prevent serious injury. A trained thermographer or a vet can check the horse for injury or any weak/hot spots that are not otherwise visible to the naked eye. As this is a non intrusive method, any problems can be quickly and easily spotted without causing any distress to the animal.

Wolfgang Böttcher owns a thermography consultancy agency that specialises in thermal imaging building diagnostics. Using his thermal camera he performs energy audits. A Display Energy Certificate (DEC) in the UK is an essential requirement for all public buildings with a floor area over 1,000m2 and is a printed report that shows the actual energy usage of a building/office/structure.

In the we are never surprised at the types and sectors that buy thermal imaging cameras from us. Recently we've had everything from a sports physiotherapist to a window company. Here are a few applications and popular uses of Themography equipment; Veterinarians Animals, especially horses, cost a lot of money to keep fit and healthy if racing, riding or sport is a big aspect of that animal’s life. Every equine vet will tell you that preventing a problem is better and a hand held camera such as the is vital for this kind of application by highlighting issues that may become problems later.

The Welsh Fire Service is embracing modern technology and fire fighting techniques by spending £1.3million on improvements to working conditions and safety. £600,000 is to be spent on equipment including thermal imaging cameras and hand held radios and £750,000 is to be spent on a training centre refurbishment in Neath.

There are many varying applications for thermography equipment and many companies and industries are now realising the benefit of using thermal technology to highlight and prevent costly problems. Below we have highlighted a few of the many applications a thermal imaging camera can be used for.
