Measurement Methods for Evaluation of Thermal Integrity of Building Envelopes

R. A. Grot / D. M. Burch / S. Silberstein / L. S. Galowin

This report presents reviews of various measurement and inspection techniques appropriate for the development of detailed diagnostic procedure for assessing the thermal performance of the exterior envelopes of federal buildings. The inspection techniques include the use of ground-based infrared thermographic surveys, aerial infrared surveys, tracer gas air infiltration measurement, pressurization tests for measuring the tightness of the building envelope, and spot radiometer surveys for detecting gross defects. Heat flow meters, a portable calorimeter, and a microprocessor-driven envelope testing unit are also considered.
