Comparative assessment of heat insulation properties of thermal resistant paints with use of infrared camera

To reduce heat losses from buildings various methods are used. One of them is applying so called “thermal resistant paints”. These paints can be put in principle on the inner but also on outer surfaces of building external walls. The aforementioned paints are put on a surface in the similar way as other paints in building construction technology and form a thin insulation layer. The acting of this paints consists in causing a noticeable temperature drop within this layer and simultaneously on the wall surface. This work presents the experimental rig, measurement procedures and selected measurement results.
