Jan. 12, 2009 - PRLog -- (Stockholm/ Munich) FLIR Systems (www.flir.com), the global leader in infrared cameras today announces at the BAU 2009, Europe's major building industry trade fair, the launch of Extech’s comprehensive range of test and measurement equipment in the EMEA region.

Acquired by FLIR in autumn 2007, Extech Instruments is a leader in innovative test and measurement equipment, with a diverse range of testers and meters designed to work in conjunction with FLIR’s infrared cameras for building applications.

Karsten Eggert, FLIR Thermography Division’s vice president of sales and marketing for EMEA comments on the significance of this announcement, “In response to these challenging economic times, we are witnessing a variety of national economic stimulus programs. For the building sector, many of these packages will support today’s stringent energy efficiency laws by funding building restoration and renovation programs for public and private residential and utility buildings.”

Eggert added, “FLIR is positioned to respond to building industry professionals with a single source for all their diagnostic and testing needs. As the building industry converges at BAU 2009, FLIR is proud to announce availability of FLIR cameras and Extech test equipment—the industry’s most complete solution for building construction, maintenance, water/mould restoration, HVAC installation and repair, energy efficiency and insulation.”
High energy costs and new energy efficiency laws are sweeping across European Union countries. As a result, infrared cameras and test equipment designed specifically for the building industry have become essential tools in a range of tasks from building inspections to the diagnosis of HVAC issues. Using the right infrared camera and test equipment (e.g., moisture meter, humidity meter, CFM/airflow meter), before and after every building repair or job, maximizes value and minimizes costs.

About FLIR Infrared Cameras for Building Applications
Infrared thermography is a powerful, non invasive means of monitoring and diagnosing the condition of buildings. It quickly identifies problem areas that can’t be seen by the naked eye. Infrared cameras provide clear images that can be stored, sent by e-mail, analyzed. FLIR Infrared cameras have special features for building diagnostics which enable an easy detection of building anomalies that often result into energy losses. Such cameras eliminate costly inspection techniques that require labor, time and destructive probing. Finding and repairing fault areas thanks to infrared thermography saves energy resources, time, money and last but not least, provides a rapid return of investment on the infrared camera.

All FLIR building camera models carry the FLIR patented dew point and insulation alarms which significantly help to determine building energy efficiency standards as provided by local legislations.
