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, the Infrared Training Center (ITC) — the global leader in infrared training — and the Building Science Institute (BSI) have developed a course for technicians and 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.
IRBS 351 - Certification in Infrared Building Science
This 3 1/2 day course includes lecture and laboratory components in basic camera operation and building fundamentals as required by individual students to achieve certification level skills.
Tuition includes the 3.5 day infrared training program costs, all breakfasts/lunches and Building Science course materials.
Advantages of Infrared Building Diagnosis:
- Fast, non-invasive, 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
Camera Training:
Our instructor led training classes only cover basic camera operation. We highly recommend you take one of our on-line web courses for your specific FLIR camera before coming to class. Please note on-line training may not be available for some camera models.
