Infrared Thermography for Assessing Thermal Bridges and Humidity in Lebanese Building Components

Abstract

This paper examine the thermal bridges and humidity in building components. Thermal performance of the building envelope is assessed using an infrared thermography technique. The objective of this test is to identify and qualify the flaws which might occurs during the construction period and the imperfections of the finishing materials used in Lebanon. Experimental results and numerical simulations have been performed using a building located in Jran-Batroun north Lebanon.
