ABSTRACT
The paper presents the use of thermography to evaluate the thermal insulation of public buildings. Some issues related to temperature measurements, especially thermography using infrared radiation, are discussed. The principles of operating a thermographic camera with indication of the factors affecting the accuracy of the measurements are presented. On the basis of the conducted measurements, the causes of excessive heat loss and the possibility of improving the performance of the tested structures are specified.
