What is Thermography?
Thermography is the observation, measurement and recording of heat and its flow . All bodies on earth, with a temperature above absolute zero, -273 °C, emit thermal energy in the infrared part of the electromagnetic spectrum.
Humans cannot see this radiation with the naked eye , but with the use of infrared cameras and thermography they can see the heat, observe anomalies, which in turn will lead them to identify problems. What thermography does is to take the radiation emitted by all bodies in the infrared spectrum through a thermal camera and convert it into a false color image so that it is perceptible to the human eye.
Through thermography , a wall with incomplete thermal insulation will have a different color in the thermal camera than one with a correct one, a moisture will be colored differently from the rest of the room , a pipe will have a different color from the rest of the floor, etc. The further analysis of the thermal images with special computer programs allows us to have accurate temperature measurements at the points of interest in order to identify problems that were hidden or to make an energy assessment.
The great value of thermography is that it provides a means to see the invisible thermal signatures associated with many problems in buildings. When we move in this direction, we result in significant savings and more comfortable & friendly buildings.
Building Thermography. A Valuable Tool
Thermography in buildings (building thermography) is a non-destructive method, which has the ability to identify the areas of energy losses, and therefore the points that require corrective interventions.
In addition to its contribution to energy savings, thermography is an excellent prevention tool since it can reliably locate and check water and sewage pipes, electrical networks and mechanical equipment.
Thermographic testing is a method used worldwide to ensure optimal quality during manufacturing and can prevent costly corrections before final delivery to the buyer.
Thermography insures your investment and property
More and more people worldwide are turning to thermography to ensure that their investment meets their expectations in terms of building quality and efficiency. Now in Greece as well, thermography is a mandatory prevention method so that large commercial or industrial buildings can be insured.
Thermography is the only non-destructive tool for energy identification and problem prevention in buildings.
Building thermography is not that easy.
To be an effective tool, the thermographer must know the limitations of the camera he is using , how the building absorbs, emits, and stores energy as well as the right time – conditions to perform the type of thermography planned.
Must be able to identify and demonstrate problems or absence thereof , which implies construction experience as well as knowledge of applicable thermal regulations.
When used correctly , it allows owners, architects, builders, civil engineers, mechanical engineers, and energy inspectors to identify problems , verify building performance, and propose valid solutions without having to know the building's construction methods and materials. and structural elements.
Andreou Monososi ABETE has gained considerable experience in building thermography, for energy saving as well as prevention and maintenance solutions in buildings.

Underfloor heating control
We ensure efficient underfloor heating with detailed thermographic checks and accurate analyses.
Through thermography, we are able to identify deficiencies or faults in underfloor heating systems, such as leaks or uneven heat distribution. This analysis is essential to prevent future problems and to ensure maximum system performance.
Photovoltaic control
Our company offers specialized thermography services that detect any thermal anomaly or damage that could affect system efficiency.
By using the most advanced thermal imaging cameras, we are able to analyze and accurately diagnose the condition of the equipment, thus ensuring its smooth operation.
Data room control
At the core of effective data room management is the use of thermography to identify overheating devices or cables that may pose a risk.
The use of advanced thermographic technology allows the precise and analytical measurement of these parameters, thus ensuring the avoidance of undesirable conditions and the maximum efficiency of the facilities.
Control of fire-resistant insulations - fire safety
We specialize in checking fire-resistant insulation for maximum safety and energy efficiency.
Through the use of advanced techniques and equipment, we offer detailed inspections, revealing any weaknesses or problems that could affect the safety of buildings. Our goal is to ensure the highest possible fire protection, while providing solutions that are also energy efficient.
Thermography, the solution to identify problems in your building.
