Abstract

Since a large amount of building defects arise from inside and are invisible at the beginning, the most common methodologies to assess defects are not able to predict a new defect or extension of an existed one. On this study, infrared thermal imaging technology and traditional methods of building diagnosis were used in the investigation of a external wall on the west side of an old building. This study intends to find dampness in thermal image which is invisible in visible light image and the relationships between variation of surface temperature and building defects. The results of this study indicate that infrared thermography provides information for the study of diagnosis techniques of the building defects.
