Due primarily to its noncontact nature, which has two significant advantages, infrared thermography is growing in popularity in civil engineering and architecture. When there are priceless pieces of art present, this is extremely important since it prevents the object under scrutiny from being altered. On the other hand, the employees work remotely, away from any hazards, which fit well with safety at work standards. Additionally, it provides the opportunity to quickly analyse expansive surfaces, such the whole front of a building. This essay will provide an outline of infrared thermography's applications in the fields of architecture and civil engineering. Following a brief description of some fundamental testing techniques, some important examples are provided based on both laboratory testing and insitu applications to everything from human habitations to works of art to archaeological sites. Using computational fluid dynamics, the impact of wind distribution on the Bahrain Trade Centre's architectural domain was quantitatively examined (CFD). The power generation capability of the wind turbines integrated into buildings was calculated using the numerical data in response to the predominant wind direction. To determine the velocity and pressure field, the momentum, continuity, and three-dimensional Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) equations were solved. The study's conclusions quantified an estimated power generation of 6.4 kW, suggesting a capacity factor of 2.9 percent for the benchmark model, simulating a reference wind speed of 6 m/s. It was found that the layers of turbulence at the windward side of the structure increased with height in inverse proportionally, with an average value of 0.45 J/kg. The turbine positioned at greater altitude received maximum exposure to the incoming wind and the air velocity was observed to steadily increase in direct proportion to height. This work demonstrated the possibilities for including wind into the design of any architectural setting by utilising sophisticated computational fluid dynamics.
