Why Thermal Imaging Temperatures Can Be Misleading – Building Performance Insights

In this video, we explore the limitations of thermal imaging for accurate temperature measurement—especially when used without calibration. We demonstrate how variables like wide-angle lenses, distance from the target, viewing angle, and poor focus can all distort thermal readings.

For building performance auditing, the goal isn’t always pinpoint accuracy—it’s about identifying thermal anomalies that indicate deeper issues like thermal bridging or air leakage. We discuss how these anomalies can be better understood when the building is under pressure from wind, stack effect, or HVAC system balancing.

We also introduce EnvelopeIR (eIR), our markup tool for annotating thermal images, making building envelope inspections and reports clearer and more actionable.
