Which standard addresses leak detection using moisture meters and infrared cameras?

• A. BPI 6.6/6.7
• B. BPI 5.0
• C. BPI 7.8
• D. BPI 9.1

Answer: (A)

BPI 6.6/6.7 address leak detection through non-destructive tools, specifically using moisture meters and infrared cameras. Moisture meters quantify the moisture content in building materials, helping you determine if a material is damp or at risk of moisture-related problems. Infrared cameras reveal temperature differences on building surfaces, which can indicate hidden moisture, condensation, or air leaks. Together, these tools allow you to locate leaks behind walls, under roofing, or in other concealed areas without breaking into the structure, guiding where remediation is needed and documenting findings as part of the standard’s procedures. The other standards cover different aspects of the building performance assessment, so they don’t focus on leak detection using these two tools.
