Weekly Challenge- Thermal images- Architecture

 Take 3 images of architecture with the thermal camera

This thermogram shows excessive heating on a terminal in an industrial electrical fuse block.

Importance of Thermal Imaging

• Preventive Maintenance: Detects hot spots in electrical panels, motor overloads, and friction in machinery before failures occur.
• Energy Efficiency & Building Inspection: Identifies insulation gaps, moisture intrusion, and air leaks (drafts) in walls, windows, and roofs, leading to energy savings.
• Safety and Security: Enables navigation and surveillance in complete darkness, thick smoke, or fog.
• Medical/Veterinary Diagnostics: Identifies physiological changes (fever or inflammation) through surface temperature changes.

Common Applications

• Electrical Maintenance: Finding overheating circuits and loose connections.
• HVAC Analysis: Detecting leaky ducts or malfunctioning compressors.
• Roof Inspection: Locating trapped moisture beneath membrane surfaces
