“The training sessions are conducted by foreign experts at the GIZ training center. The education is organized within the framework of the project ‘Energy Efficiency in Communities II,’ focusing on the specifics of thermal imaging, which is implemented by Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH,” shared Olena Filonenko.

During the training, German experts taught participants to:

  • Operate infrared (IR) cameras;
  • Analyze object parameters based on thermograms;
  • Conduct thermographic analysis of buildings (theory and practice);
  • Digitize thermographic images;
  • Evaluate thermographic images, analyzing thermal insulation defects, thermal bridges, and identifying dew points, moisture levels, and building damages.

Participants of the training received professional development certificates and gained practical experience in thermographic photography of buildings.

A meeting is planned for the spring to discuss the practical application of the acquired knowledge with energy auditors.
