The present invention relates to an automatic
system (1) and a method for monitoring the state of
thermal insulation for buildings and infrastructures (2). The
system comprises: - at least one internal measuring device (10) and one external measuring device (20), applied to the walls; - at least one Gateway (30) for a long-range communication
system (Lo.Ra. or similar); - at least one
Server (40) for automatic data storage and analysis. The measuring devices (10, 20) acquire and evaluate the
thermal conductivity of the walls on which they are applied, measuring the
thermal conductivity at preset intervals through a set of sensors that allow the appropriate corrective measures determined by wind and
air humidity (including the possible effects of rain) to be applied. Once the data has been acquired and the
thermal conductivity calculation has been carried out (both with the theoretical formulas and by applying the
convection correctives), the internal device (10) sends the data to the
Server (40), which processes them, determining the variations in thermal
conductivity through regression algorithms, in order to estimate the rate of deterioration of the insulation. If the
deterioration rate exceeds the standard, estimated from previous data, the system sends an alarm.
