Designed to help you expand your thermal testing business to incorporate infrared energy loss surveys, this course will give you the training and information you need to provide those services to your customer base. Energy loss surveys can be a lucrative source of incremental income, and this service will help your clients pinpoint and solve energy losses in their homes and other buildings. Helping your clients to understand the sources and severity of energy loss using state-of-the-art equipment will make them happy, save them money and increase your bottom line. Energy loss results in higher utility bills, personal discomfort, and can potentially lead to structural and air quality problems due to the moisture accumulation that can occur in certain areas. To remediate insulation problems, seal air leaks, provide evidence of damages due to poor workmanship, improper installation, or use of substandard materials when the building was constructed, a professional infrared energy loss survey report can be of invaluable service.

This course exhaustively and comprehensively covers the use and operation of infrared cameras, how to properly conduct thermal energy surveys, and how to prepare, write and deliver a professional infrared energy loss survey report to a client. There are many different types and ways in which energy can be lost from a building; you will be taught the processes for investigating and positively identifying these, including: insulation deficiencies, bypasses, air infiltration, thermal bridging, and HVAC system problems. It is recommended that you have received a previous Level 1 Thermographer certification, but it is not required to take this course. An infrared camera is not needed to take this course.

Prerequisites: Level I Thermographer Certification OR twenty four course hours in thermography fundamentals OR equivalent thermography fieldwork experience.
