Last Year's Schedule of IR Clinics (Stay tuned for a list of this year's clinics)

IR clinics offer unique opportunities to discuss your specific applications, learn timesaving IR reporting tips, and explore the latest IR software developments with ITC and industry experts. Our IR clinics are very popular, so be sure to register early to reserve your seat.

Hands on and interactive, making it easier to learn
The clinics are "how to" oriented; how to create templates in Reporter; how to set up and do a roof moisture survey; how to set up and perform an electrical survey, etc. While we can't cover all the bases in three hours, we try to make the clinics as comprehensive as possible, giving insight as to the process involved, what equipment you need, and any helpful professional tips.

Explore your application and learn ways to maximize your investment in infrared technology with world-leading IR applications experts. Bring your IR reports, thermograms and photos. Ask questions and get answers to your specific issues.

All clinics run for 3 hours and cost $100 USD each. (NOTE: on-site clinic registration at the event is $125.00 each)

Led by Rusty Bushee and Bernie Lyon - Infrared Training Center
less/more>>

This clinic is designed for new or practicing thermographers that wish to apply infrared thermography to HVACR (Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning, and Refrigeration) applications.

HVACR technicians have more than enough to be concerned with when you consider the R-22 phase-out, SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio) ratings, rising energy costs, compliance with local and national legislation, codes, standards, and the Green movement.

This 200 Billion dollar a year industry will require some 30,000 technicians annually over the next decade. During this time the service industry is expected to grow some 18 to 26 percent and 40 percent of the workforce will be eligible for retirement. Based on these statistics, within that timeframe 66 percent of the workforce must be recruited and trained. Green collar technicians will be using infrared thermography. They need industry specific training that will focus on their unique application – without superfluous academics.

This clinic will focus on the challenges facing the HVACR industry and how infrared thermography can be used as an efficient and cost effective tool.

Home Energy Auditing with Infrared Thermography - Wednesday
Led by Howard Vics, Building Performance Consulting
less/more>>

The infrared thermal imaging camera is the most accurate diagnostic tool available to the professional home energy auditor. In the field of home energy analysis, we are seeking to locate sources of heat (energy) loss and develop a strategy to help the home owner save energy and money and be more comfortable in their home.

In its simplest sense, the science of heat transfer says that heat will always flow from higher temperature to lower temperature. In a “heating climate” like the Northeast, it is typically warmer inside a home than it is outside the home. Since building materials have different “conductivities”, they will have different temperatures.

This clinic will describe the use and interpretation of IR/Thermal Imagery in the performance of heat loss analysis and its application to home energy auditing, with an emphasis on the use of blower door technology. It will also showcase the use of the IR/thermal imaging camera as a quality assurance tool to ensure the effectiveness of remediation efforts.

Medical Applications - Thursday
Led by Marcos Brioschi, Brazilian Medical Thermology Society
less/more>>

The role of infrared imaging as a diagnostic tool in the most spectacular of the eastern medical procedures: acupuncture, is discussed in recent scientific discoveries. It will be discussed that IR imaging also opens a new window into understanding the energy transfer dynamics of the human body. Furthermore, it is likely that living matter is not in the ground state, but permanently electronically excited. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and IR imaging practice is presented. Current procedures and guidelines utilized in infrared imaging are detailed. An overview of the clinical applications of infrared imaging is provided with focus on pain syndromes. It will be shown how to find acupoints and meridians by IR imaging, needling and moxi cigar effects, and IR image fusion resources with Flir cams. Dynamic changes in temperature distribution, as possible during acupuncture, will be shown that they are registered well and reliably. Future areas of research are highlighted (biophotonics).

Arc Flash Safety - Thursday
Led by John Waggoner - Tegg Corporation
less/more>>

Infrared Thermographers are constantly taught and reminded that to perform proper Infrared Thermography on electrical equipment there must be direct line of sight to the electrical components operating and that the electrical components be under normal load conditions. These two requirements place the Thermographer and support personnel in a potentially hazardous situation – electric shock and arc flash hazard.

NFPA 70E 2004 – “Standard on Electrical Safety in the Workplace” was written and updated to address and direct those who perform electrical testing like Infrared Thermography. This standard discusses the danger of Electric Shock and Arc Flash Hazards when opening and working around energized, exposed electrical equipment. NFPA 70E 2004 also describes the required Approach Boundaries and Personal Protection Equipment required when performing electrical testing.

This workshop will detail these hazards and requirements with practical examples of the different locations within the electrical system. This workshop is recommended to those who perform thermography, open energized electrical equipment, or who supervise these individuals who perform this type of work.
