Verification of the envelope trough Thermography

Abstract

To meet a certain quality of habitability, the envelope - the roof and the enclosure walls - of the construction systems must verify the thermal transmittance and it is carried out theoretically. However, these verifications may ultimately differ from what is built due to changes in the production of materials, construction failures, encounters or structural solutions adopted in the construction system. In this sense, it is sought to be able to corroborate the theoretical verifications in the cabinet, through the use of a thermographic camera. To this end, a construction system developed at the Research and Development Center for Construction and Housing is used; This implies establishing a form of work and control that can be replicated in other construction systems. Of the same, it seeks to identify the thermal bridges present in the construction system and propose possible solutions that will be evaluated from the theoretical point of view and from the verification of the construction system.
