Sound Visualization Method for Locating Air Leaks in Buildings
Presenter:
- Daniel Gyorev, Sorama
Summary:
The session discussed how acoustic imaging can be used to detect air leaks in building envelopes — essentially making the invisible visible by visualizing sound escaping through cracks and gaps.
- The technology complements traditional methods, such as blower-door testing and thermal imaging, but offers advantages, especially in warm weather or in occupied buildings where temperature-differential-based methods may struggle.
- Real-world examples were shown to illustrate how you can pinpoint leakage paths in real time.
