Welcome to the official discussion thread for the webinar Inspecting Residential and Small Commercial Buildings at 11:00 a.m. on July 9, 2008.   I encourage you to join us for a post-webinar discussion here on this thread where participants can:

• Network with other thermographers who attended this session.

Webinar Overview:  With the recent reduction in the cost of infrared cameras, many people are now considering the technology for building inspections. To be successful, one must first possess a solid foundation of camera operation and basic heat transfer theory, plus a background in building construction and performance issues associated with energy audits and moisture inspections. This webinar will introduce you to using infrared for building applications including the conditions needed, typical patterns detected and limitations of the technology.
