Flir thermal imaging cameras have been used to help determine how well anti-allergy medicine is functioning. Using a thermal imaging camera to study the skin and temperature differences is an extremely accurate, non-invasive, non-contact technique that can easily be used to visually show changes that could indicate further problems and unknown issues.

Recently we reported on the application of thermal imaging in equestrian sports and for Olympic horses. However, horses are not the only animals that can benefit from thermal imaging. Infrared cameras have recently been used to diagnose heath problems in small animals too. This makes the possibilities for thermal imaging much wider and also allows the use of thermal cameras to become a much more mainstream way of diagnosing problems. Continue reading →

When using solar panel technology 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. Continue reading →

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. Continue reading →

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.
