Abstract
Infrared (IR) thermography, as a diagnostic technique, is used to find anomalies in the thermal signature of the Military museum building in Belgrade, to identify irregularities or deficiencies, such as wet materials, voids, or missing insulation and to inspect energy efficiency of the museum building and microclimatic indoor conditions. It is very important to perform preventative maintenance and stop undesirable environment influences that induce structural damage, modification of materials and agglomeration of pollutants and microorganisms on the cultural heritage artifacts, stored in the museum depot or exhibited in the galleries. The main causes for corrosion in historical buildings and museum artifacts are moisture and changeable temperature conditions. This paper deals with the results obtained in the application of IR thermography in determination of these conditions in the Military museum building, where very important metal artifacts are exhibited and deposed. The results show poor thermal insulation, wet walls and, generally, low energy efficiency.
Highlights
IR thermography is a non-destructive testing (NDT) technique, which is becoming increasingly popular in the study of structural characteristics of building elements, as in the detection of defects and moi
The thermographic tests performed in the Military Museum at Kalemegdan in Belgrade have shown that the energy efficiency of the building is low
The thermography inspection of the building confirmed the presence of moisture in the areas where it cannot be seen by naked eye and the places where the successful operations have been made to stop moisture leaking down the walls or damp penetration
Summary
IR (infrared) thermography is a non-destructive testing (NDT) technique, which is becoming increasingly popular in the study of structural characteristics of building elements, as in the detection of defects and moi-.
