Application of IR Technology on Energy Efficiency Test of Lightweight Wooden Structures

In this paper, a two-story lightweight wood structure building is taken as an example, and the infrared thermal imager is used to inspect the building to analyze the thermal defects existing in the wooden structure. The results show that there are some defects in the light-weight wooden structure, such as uneven distribution of insulation at the wood stud, thermal bridge in the corner and air leakage in the louver. It shows that infrared technology is an effective means of energy saving detection of lightweight wooden structure.
