I am pleased to introduce the NEW Energy Auditing & Weatherization Webinar from Fluke!
With all the focus on energy conservation and building weatherization, IR is getting a lot of much deserved attention. Thermal imagers play an important role in making the location of air leaks and missing insulation very fast and easy. This session will identify the common areas of major energy loss as well as illustrate how powerful IR is as a diagnostic tool.

This 2 day course is intended to give the student the knowledge base necessary to perform IR surveys of residences, primarily single family homes, to identify weatherization issues. The class covers IR camera setup and operation, image downloading and basic report generation, fundamentals of IR theory and heat transfer, use with other testing such as blower doors, techniques, tips and tricks for weatherization IR surveys and application examples.
About Weatherization and Infrared
A good weatherization IR survey can identify thermal anomalies that indicate missing insulation and insulation defects due to damage, moisture and improper installation. The IR survey can also provide indication of potential areas of imminent condensation, moist or wet areas as well as air infiltration and exfiltration, especially when used in conjunction with blower door testing. IR surveys can also find duct leaks when used with duct pressurization testing. Documentation with IR images is a key feature of IR thermography for weatherization. The course covers the caveats and environmental conditions necessary for a successful weatherization IR survey, as well as pitfalls to avoid.

All Fluke webinars are free. Because there is no classroom time, no certification can be given.
While I agree that paid classroom courses are much more in-depth and often include a certification, webinars are a good way to learn more about an IR application from your home and for FREE!
