What is Building Science?
Infrared building science is the application of infrared (IR) thermographic inspection techniques as a powerful and noninvasive means of monitoring and diagnosing the condition of buildings.

Course Benefits
|
|
IR cameras in the hands of trained thermographers can provide immediate documentation of as-built, pre- and post-restoration conditions, post-casualty Cause and Origin data, plumbing and building envelope water leakage, post-flood and fire water-damaged material assessment, energy use inefficiency, and electrical problems.
Insurance companies, restoration firms, building owners, and thermographers already involved in building maintenance and operations require a thorough applications training curriculum leading to certification in infrared building science. In response, InfraRed Imaging Solutions Inc. (IRIS) through the Infrared Training Center (ITC) — the global leader in infrared training — and the Building Science Institute (BSI) offers the IRISBS351 Building Science Certification Training Course for technicians, supervisors, and those wishing to receive Building Science Certification. These courses address the Best Practices of the cleaning and restoration industry with content drawn from extensive field experience in thermography and building construction. They include references to actual cases illustrating how IR thermography has pinpointed sources of building moisture, provided definitive Cause and Origin data, enabled energy savings, and prevented incipient catastrophes. Like all ITC courses, the Building Science series emphasizes practical real-world skill building, and includes infrared theory relevant to these skills.
IRISBS 351 - Certification in Infrared Building Science
This three-and-a-half day course includes all lecture and laboratory components taught in IRBS-101 and IRBS-201, plus intensive one-on-one instruction in camera operation and building fundamentals as required by individual students to achieve certification level skills.
Tuition - A registration fee of $1495* USD includes the 3.5 day infrared training program costs, all breakfasts/lunches and Building Science course materials.
Advantages of Infrared Building Diagnosis
· Fast, noninvasive, safe – minimizes need for building disassembly
· Find moisture sources and structural problems quickly
· Locate heating & cooling losses with pinpoint accuracy
· Minimize disturbance of occupants and ongoing operations
· Generate reports of inspection results in seconds
· Facilitate the selection of agencies and trades for restoration
· Repair with maximum speed and assurance
· Document as-built or post-repair/restoration conditions
· Protect against frivolous complaints
· Provide evidentiary basis for fair settlements
· Provide competitive advantage for restoration firms
