On-site checking of the actual heat transfer coefficients so as to verify whether the assigned Energy Rating is correct.

The Energy Rating is meant to guarantee the actual energy consumption of a building and therefore is considered a quality indicator. Unfortunately, sometimes there can be quite a significant gap between the calculated values and the actual ones. This gap can be identified by installing instruments that measure indoor-outdoor thermal flows along the perimeter of buildings. This technique, accompanied by a thermografic analysis carried out using state-of-the-art equipment, also becomes a fundamental tool for subsequent energy efficiency improvements to the building.
