Abstract
The main provisions of infrared thermographic testing of building envelopes, taking into account current regulatory documents and requirements for control means are considered. The infrared thermography refers to the thermal type of non-destructive testing and is a non-contact method. This introduces a number of methodological requirements for its application in practice, which implies a high qualification of specialists involved in diagnostics. The difficulty lies in the fact that none of the modern standards that are considered in the work allows you to fully carry out the entire volume of required field tests of structures, each of them describes the measurement of individual parameters. Some of them are seriously outdated, others are unnecessarily complicated, others mention the use of infrared cameras, but do not give an understanding of how to use them. Thus, the requirements for methodological documents and staff qualifications are increasing, which combine the provisions of individual standards into a single control technology, taking into account the modern theory and practice of the thermal control and calculation models of heat transfer.
