Cover Story: This study explores the use of thermography within the built environment, emphasizing the advantages of its use in nondestructively detecting construction solutions while also acknowledging challenges, such as the need for advanced algorithms to reduce noise and accurately identify defects. Through qualitative research and case studies, this paper showcases how thermography can be utilized for insightful observations regarding building materials and structural components, aiding in the diagnostic phase of building interventions. The findings support the integration of thermography into building inspections and thermal performance assessments, emphasizing the vital role this process may have in advancing climate neutrality in the built environment.
