Thermogram showing heat loss from a house
Heat loss. Thermogram of a house showing the distribution of heat over its surface. The temperature scale runs from red (warmest) through yellow, green, cyan and blue to mauve (coldest). Thermography is a technique for visualising the temperature of surfaces by recording their emission of long-wavelength variation. This heat radiation is detected electronically and displayed with different colours representing different temperatures. This thermogram shows that the roof is well insulated, while the walls and windows are losing the heat. Thermograms are used to check houses for heat loss, so their heat insulation can be improved

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a thermogram of a house, revealing the distribution of heat over its surface. The image showcases a range of colors on the temperature scale, from red (warmest) to mauve (coldest), illustrating the varying degrees of heat loss within different areas of the house. Thermography, a scientific technique for visualizing surface temperatures by detecting long-wavelength variations in heat radiation, is employed here. By electronically recording and displaying these emissions with different colors representing different temperatures, this thermogram provides valuable insights into the thermal performance of the building. The analysis derived from this image highlights that while the roof appears well insulated (indicated by warmer colors), there are noticeable areas where heat is escaping through walls and windows (cooler colors). This information can be crucial for homeowners or builders seeking to improve their property's energy efficiency and reduce heating costs. Thermograms like this one play an essential role in assessing houses for potential heat loss issues. By identifying areas that require better insulation techniques or modifications, homeowners can take proactive measures to enhance their dwelling's thermal comfort and sustainability. Science Photo Library presents this remarkable photograph as part of its collection showcasing cutting-edge scientific technology applied to everyday life situations.
