Thermography is the use of an infrared imaging and measurement camera to detect and measure thermal energy emitted from an object. This thermal energy, or infrared energy, is not part of the visible light spectrum that can be detected by the human eye. It’s the part of the electromagnetic spectrum that we perceive as heat. Every object above absolute zero (that’s –459.67 degrees Farenheit, awfully cold) emits infrared radiation. The higher the object’s temperature, the greater the IR radiation emitted. Infrared thermography cameras create images of this invisible infrared or "heat" radiation.
Just as x–rays opened up a whole new dimension to medical diagnoses, infrared cameras open up a whole new dimension to finding and diagnosing problems with homes.
