Abstract

In Denmark IR-techniques have found a widespend use in the Building and Construction sector. The applications include control of insulation level of buildings, district heating networks, transformer stations, electrical networks and water pipes in buildings, electrically heated floors, etc. In this paper is first described the Danish voluntary system for inspection of building insulation. This work is supervised by a government agency. Some examples are given on how these activities are carried out in practice. An important question is how to develop IR-techniques for new applications and how to transfer this knowledge for practical use. In this paper we describe how activities of this kind are carried out in cooperation with government bodies, research organizations and users of thermography. Important aspects discussed include the initialization of development projects, the financial aspects, the organization of projects of this kind and the technology transfer. Some examples are given from work of this kind.
