Thermal Imaging Fundamentals is an informative video in which Todd Stevens, a veteran thermographer, discusses his knowledge of thermography techniques and how they can be used to locate and identify suspect areas of moisture, energy loss and electrical concerns. The video showcases basic infrared camera functions, procedures, and practical uses, as well as the science behind the equipment. You'll also see video of thermography in the field on actual houses and learn how to locate building defects, including moisture, leaks, heat loss and inadequate insulation. Mr. Stevens will also discuss false readings that can often be misleading. Total Running Time: 1 hour and 14 minutes.
