Thermal Imaging Fundamentals

Thermography techniques are typically used to locate and identify suspected areas of energy loss, electrical concern and moisture. Todd Stevens, a veteran of thermography, will share his knowledge and experience with you throughout this DVD. Todd will give you a comprehensive introduction to thermal imaging while discussing basic infrared camera function and procedures such as proper use of equipment. He will also discuss the science behind the equipment and some of the practical uses. This technology can be used in commercial or residential construction as a way of detecting moisture leaks, heat loss and inadequate insulation. This DVD shows you state of the art infrared technology developed by FLIR. Todd Stevens is a veteran in home inspection training and is a national expert in thermal imaging. He will walk you through some of the most basic understanding of IR technology while learning how to apply it in the field on homes. Mr. Stevens will also show you how to diagnose false readings as well as give you hands on solutions for use and care of the equipment. The total running time for this DVD is 1 hour 14 minutes.
