Abstract (EN): There are several parameters that can influence significantly the measurement of surface temperatures using IRT. For that reason, this issue is deeply discussed in this chapter, including a comparison between the values obtained using three different devices (infrared camera, infrared thermometer and type T thermocouples). The chapter describes the methodology and the results attained in two experimental campaigns, one in situ and the other one in laboratory. In the in situ case study, the surface temperature of various finishing materials on the façades of a building was measured in different periods of the day and at different distances. The second campaign (laboratory) consisted in selecting materials with different emissivity and exposing them to external environmental conditions, while measuring their surface temperature. © The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2019.
