  • Patent number: 10019748
    Abstract: In an exemplary method for evaluating building insulation, first thermal data for a first building location is received at a computing device from a thermal scanning device, the first thermal data including a first leak temperature reading of a first leak path feature at the first building location. Estimated inside and outside temperatures are stored in the computing device, and an environmental temperature deviation between the estimated inside temperature and the estimated outside temperature is determined. A first leak temperature deviation between the first leak temperature reading and the estimated inside temperature is determined. A first temperature deviation ratio of the first leak temperature deviation to the environmental temperature deviation is compared with a predetermined first maximum acceptable inefficiency ratio.

  • Publication number: 20180131918
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are a system, method and computer-readable medium that receive temperature data for a plurality of frames from an infrared detector array, store the temperature data for the plurality of frames in one or more data files, retrieve the data file(s) in response to one or more user commands specifying one or both of a palette selection and temperature range parameters, generate image data by applying the palette selection and temperature range parameters and display a thermal video based on the image data. This enables a recorded thermal video to be replayed with different palettes or ranges.
