| Abstract | ||||
| The modem technique of thermography is originally developed for military use. Infrared cameras use inferred to detect objects temperatures. A Thermal Imaging Camera is used in fire fighting. Such cameras allow fire fighters to see areas of heat through smoke or darkness by rendering infrared radiation as visible light. Thermal cameras have then migrated into civil fields, hi civil engineering, one can get use of this theory to control the energy consumed by Heating and cooling systems in buildings. Therefore new regulations have appeared in some European countries to control the energy consumed by such systems. Buildings insulation efficiency is our concern here, not the heating or cooling systems themselves. In this paper, an integration technique for the thermal image with other sensors is introduced. The integration allows to check the amount of the emitted cool/heat from the concerning building against the accepted limits. | ||||
