FORNAX 2 Building Ther­mo­graphy Soft­ware

FORNAX 2 is a special thermographic software for analysing and evaluating building physics in thermographic images of building structures, which is available in the two versions FORNAX 2 and FORNAX 2 plus. It is an essential tool for experts and energy advisors to visualise and analyse constructional and physical interrelationships. By using this innovative analysis software for building thermography, thermographic reports and expertises can be furnished in a competent, extensive and time-saving manner.

Analysis and Eval­u­ation Func­tions

Within a thermographic image, thermal construction faults can simply be marked and commented using the underlying annotation database. In addition, Fornax 2 and Fornax 2 plus are recommended for following analyses:

  • Efficient documentation and commentary through individually expandable modular reporting system

  • Surface condensation and resulting mould risk simulation according to EU DIN 4108 standard within the wellbeing zone according to EU DIN 1943 standard on interior walls

  • Heat flow calculations and statistics

  • Theoretical calculation of U-value according to EU DIN 4108 standard

  • Energy consumption cost calculation

  • Identification of seasonal interior surface condensation risks using the wall structure (use of building material database)
