The paper presents the problem of building envelope investigation with the use of active thermography. Examples of active thermography in the reflective mode application and a description of the experimental investigation has been shown on a wall model with the inclusion of materials with significantly different thermal conductivity and heat capacity, i.e. styrofoam, steel and granite. Article presents a method of determining the depth of the defect in the building envelope using the echo defect shape method. Finally, the summary and conclusion is shown along with the prospects of development of this kind of investigation in inclusions depth detection.
