Variations in the U-Value Measurement of a Whole Dwelling Using Infrared Thermography under Controlled Conditions

U-values of building elements are often determined using point measurements, where infrared imagery may be used to identify a suitable location for these measurements. Current methods identify that surface areas exhibiting a homogeneous temperature—away from regions of thermal bridging—can be used t...
