Assessing the influence of operating conditions and thermophysical properties on the accuracy of in-situ measured U-values using quantitative internal infrared thermography
(2018-07-15)
Article
Open AccessWithin the European context, most of the current residential building stock does not fulfil minimum thermal requirements and needs to be refurbished urgently. Quantitative internal infrared thermography can provide valuable ... -
Contributions to the determination of thermal behaviour of façades using quantitative internal IRT (Infrared Thermography)
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2019-01-24)
Doctoral thesis
Open AccessWithin the European framework, most of residential buildings do not satisfy the minimum thermal specifications. In fact, the renovation rate across the EU is estimated at 1% per year. To fulfil with the goals stated by ... -
Energy benchmarking of existing office stock in Spain: trends and drivers
(2019-11-12)
Article
Open AccessBuildings play a central role in the clean energy transition, which is why it is vital to understand how energy is consumed in this sector. Energy performance certificate databases are considered a key source of information ... -
Evaluating the freeze–thaw phenomenon in sandwich-structured composites via numerical simulations and infrared thermography
(Springer, 2020-07-13)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyThe water ingress phenomenon in sandwich-structured composites used in the aerospace/aeronautical sector is a current issue. This type of defect can cause in the course of time several other defects at the boundary, such ... -
Office representatives for cost-optimal energy retrofitting analysis: a novel approach using cluster analysis of energy performance certificate databases
(2020-01-01)
Article
Open AccessA large number of buildings must be evaluated to formulate energy retrofitting policies for existing building stock. In this context, it is crucial to identify reference buildings that can effectively represent the entire ... -
Quantitative internal infrared thermography for determining in-situ thermal behaviour of façades
(2017-09-15)
Article
Open AccessThe thermal behaviour of a building is often underestimated or neglected during its construction and operation stages. In recent years, the heat flux meter (HFM) method has been commonly used to determine the U-value, a ... -
Thermographic 2D U-value map for quantifying thermal bridges in building façades
(2020-10-01)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyThermal bridges accounted for 30% of the impact on the energy performance of European residential building stock. Nevertheless, European countries and their standards do not take into account the influences of this type ... -
U-value time series analyses: Evaluating the feasibility of in-situ short-lasting IRT tests for heavy multi-leaf walls
(2019-07-15)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyA gap in standardization of quantitative infrared thermography (IRT) directly leads to a lack of measurement pattern for determining in-situ U-values of heavy multi-leaf walls. Three groups of causal factors might influence ...
