This workshop introduces the fundamentals of thermography and drone-based assessments, from capturing and processing thermal images with a drone or camera to understanding the resulting thermography report. Participants will learn how to interpret the findings and pull real value from them, including identifying issues like failed steam traps, and how to weigh the economics of what they find. The session closes with a real-world case study that ties the process together.
