Chapter 1Introduction

Barreira, Eva; Almeida, Ricardo M. S. F.

Pages: 1 –6

[ Moisture is one of the main causes of pathologies in buildings and, thus, has always aroused great interest within the scientific community. This chapter presents a state of the art concerning infrared thermography (IRT) applications with focus on moisture assessment in buildings.]

Chapter 2Measurement of Surface Temperature Using Different Devices

Barreira, Eva; Almeida, Ricardo M. S. F.

Pages: 7 –28

[ .There are several parameters that can influence significantly the measurement of surface temperatures using IRT. For that reason, this issue is deeply discussed in this chapter, including a comparison between the values obtained using three different devices (infrared camera, infrared...

Chapter 3IRT Versus Moisture: Laboratory Tests

Barreira, Eva; Almeida, Ricardo M. S. F.

Pages: 29 –42

[The applicability of IRT to assess moisture was evaluated in the laboratory using full-scale models. Two situations were evaluated: moisture intake due to rising damp and the drying process of a moist surface. In both cases, the passive approach was implemented as no external heat source was...

Chapter 4IRT Versus Moisture: In Situ Tests in Indoor Environment

Barreira, Eva; Almeida, Ricardo M. S. F.

Pages: 43 –51

[This chapter describes a test campaign to evaluate the applicability of IRT to detect moisture in walls of buildings in use. The passive approach was implemented and moisture was detected due to the effect of evaporative cooling. Moisture in the walls under study had two different sources:...

Chapter 5IRT Versus Drying: In Situ Tests in Outdoor Environment

Barreira, Eva; Almeida, Ricardo M. S. F.

Pages: 53 –62

[The applicability of IRT to assess the drying process of exterior walls after a long-term rainy period was evaluated through in situ tests. The physical phenomenon underlying these measurements was the effect of evaporative cooling, and the passive approach was implemented. Simultaneously, a...
