Abstract


This article is aimed a! establishing the chance of applying the infrared thermography techniquefor !he examination of rural buildings. The results from field worh are collected. The next issues were determined by thermography: Hidden materials and elements; dgerences behveen different materials; location of crach; localion of slructures; localion ofhumid areas; points ofheat losses and areas where the hot air is accumulated. It ispossible lo inspect a high number of buildings in a short time and get valuable results.
