BuildScanIR™,
a division of Stockton Infrared Thermographic Services,
Inc., has announced its co-sponsorship of IR/INFO 2008.
Hosted annually by Infraspection Institute, IR/INFO
is an educational conference and technical symposium
for infrared thermography and related P/PM, PdM and
NDT technologies. IR/INFO 2008 will be held January
13-16, 2008, at the Holiday Inn International Drive
Resort Hotel in Orlando, Florida.
Greg Stockton, President of SITS states,
“Thermography has become an integral inspection
tool for many building and home inspectors. To be effective,
an infrared thermographer must know the limitations
of their imager, the way that buildings absorb and radiate
heat energy, and the best time to perform a given IR
survey. He/she must have an imager capable of finding
and documenting problems and most importantly, an understanding
of thermal dynamics and building physics.”
Jim Seffrin, Director of Infraspection
Institute adds, “We are very pleased to be working
with BuildScanIR™. The past few years have seen
increased usage of thermography for building diagnostics.
In light of this, for IR/INFO 2008 we have expanded
our coverage of infrared thermography for building diagnostics.
We look forward to many valuable contributions from
BuildScanIR™ members.”
At IR/INFO 2008, BuildScanIR™
thermographers from across the country will be presenting
cutting edge papers and short courses on specialized
applications for buildings. “This is an opportunity
for BuildScanIR™ thermographers from very different
climates to share their experiences in building thermography
with others who wish to learn about this valuable building
evaluation tool,” says Greg Stockton.
Mr. Seffrin concludes, “Thermography
is a dynamic technology that is constantly evolving.
IR/INFO is an excellent way to keep abreast of current
industry trends, challenges and opportunities. At IR/INFO
2008, attendees will have the opportunity to learn from
leading industry experts and to share ideas and experiences
with their peers in an open, relaxed atmosphere. Regardless
of your experience level, IR/INFO is a must-attend event
for all professional thermographers.”

and innovator of a number of infrared applications.
BuildScanIR™
Network is the largest group of private thermographers
in North America. Membership in the network is free
and the site is geared toward educating home inspectors,
homeowners, building inspectors, building managers,
and service providers as to the uses of infrared thermography
in building sciences. BuildScanIR™
Services provides state-of-the-art building infrared
thermographic surveys used in litigation to locate structural
defects, track down moisture in building components,
find missing insulation, detect thermal envelope problems
and discover building design flaws.
