| Energy supply is one of the world's leading challenges. Despite advancements in clean energy sources, a significant portion of power generation still relies on burning fossil fuels, which emit harmful pollutants. A considerable amount of the energy produced is consumed in buildings, so improving energy efficiency in this sector is a crucial step in reducing these emissions. Early inspection and detection of defects in various building components, such as windows, heating and cooling systems, electrical installations, and plumbing, can help minimize energy loss during a building's operation. Thermal cameras are practical tools for identifying defects related to temperature changes and increased heat transfer. They can be used quickly, cheaply, and without direct contact during equipment inspections. In this study, we examined the windows, heating systems, electrical installations, and plumbing of the buildings on the main campus of the University of Bonab using a thermal camera. This approach allowed us to accurately identify defects and failures associated with temperature fluctuations. The results of this thermography can be used in planning and prioritizing the necessary measures for the repair and maintenance of the buildings, to reduce costs and increase energy efficiency. |
