Applied Building Thermography Training Programme

The Applied Building Thermography training programme is a comprehensive 3-day course designed to equip construction professionals, surveyors, and building specialists with the core skills needed to apply thermal imaging techniques for diagnosing building performance issues. Delivered by ScanTherm, a leading provider in this field, the training combines theoretical learning, practical camera operation, and real-world case studies, ensuring participants can confidently carry out thermal surveys and accurately interpret results.

Thermal imaging is rapidly becoming a key diagnostic tool in construction, retrofit, and facilities management, helping to identify heat loss, air leakage, moisture ingress, and HVAC performance issues. This course ensures learners understand how to capture reliable thermal images and analyse them effectively to provide clear, evidence-based reports for clients and regulatory compliance.
