4. Final considerations
For this article, a field investigation intended to demonstrate potential of infrared thermography for humidity detection of humidity coming from precipitation in buildings was performed. This included a behavior study for surface temperature during a day in rainy season. Detection was possible during the whole study period, when these areas were colder than dry areas. For the inspection to be effective, however, it is important to consider some factors such as inspection schedule and study site conditions. In this case, morning hours were considered better time, because definition of the affected area was clear, and ambient high temperatures contributed to development of thermal gradients. It is important to consider that this technique does not provide information on severity of any issue, but it may be an auxiliary tool for maintenance and service programs.
