Evaluation of the envelope airtightness by means of combined infrared thermography and pressurization tests in heritage buildings: A case study

Abstract

Heritage buildings crucially contribute to the economy of those countries that rely heavily on the tourism industry. Investigation and monitoring of the origins of deterioration and damage are therefore key to the preservation of historical and cultural assets. Diagnosis of Heritage Buildings by Non-destructive Techniques offers an up-to-date overview of the latest knowledge by compiling specialized studies written by an international group of experts in the field. The volume is an invaluable reference resource for students, researchers, and practitioners alike.
