ABSTRACT
The practical use of infrared thermography is, in a nutshell: looking at the thermal energy emitted from an object, explaining normality, seeing abnormalities and reporting them in a graphic, usable and easy-to-understand fashion, so that someone who is not familiar with the technology, can act to fix whatever is wrong. This works on heat emissions from all types of energy - not just electrical energy. There are many uses for infrared thermography other than inspecting electrical switchgear. In this paper I will discuss two of those other uses for infrared thermography. |

With longer and hotter days just around the corner, facility executives might be considering ways to keep cooling costs down. If the roof made it to this year’s list of capital improvement projects, taking the extra step to create a cool roof could significantly impact energy cost savings — as much as $.20 per square foot of roof area, according to industry experts. The idea of cool roofs has been around for decades but debate still swirls around whether they make sense in all locations. While there are many factors to consider before installing a cool roof, research shows a cool roof can make sense in almost any climate. Also, advancements in cool colors and databases which rate the coolness of certain materials make finding the right cool roof that much easier. |

Maintenance costs, as defined by normal plant accounting procedures, are normally a major portion of the total operating costs in most plants. Traditional maintenance costs (i.e. labor and material) in the U. S. have escalated at a tremendous rate over the past 10 years. |
