Specifics of integrated thermal imaging monitoring modern civil buildings and thermophysical properties of enclosing structures made of building materials of mass production

Abstract

Objective. The purpose of the study is to improve the technical procedure and increase the accuracy of determining the key thermophysical characteristics of building materials and products in a stationary thermal regime, as well as expanding the possibilities of using integrated thermal imaging monitoring in assessing the heat-conducting qualities of heterogeneous single-layer building structures, which are, including in non-stationary temperature conditions. Method. The methodological basis of the study is the fundamental provisions of the theories of heat transfer, thermal control and infrared diagnostics, methods of qualitative and quantitative analysis of thermograms.Result. The scheme of complex non-destructive diagnostics of the thermal and technical condition of heat-protective shells of capital and completed construction facilities, engineering and technical systems and subsystems of life support for various functional, technological, operational purposes based on the results of thermography and qualitative and quantitative assessment of thermal images is presented. Examples of the use of thermal imaging equipment and other auxiliary control and measuring equipment in the field examination of translucent structures and non-translucent ventilated facade systems of a real civil building are given, as well as the results of thermal imaging identification of the main thermal properties of a fragment of an enclosing building structure in the form of a wall of silicate brick. Conclusion. The presented method of active thermal non-destructive determination of the main thermophysical properties of structural building materials and products, as well as an experimental setup for its implementation, make it possible to study the entire range of thermal characteristics under various conditions and modes using a thermal imager and related instrumentation.
