Abstract
A method to provide prognosis and diagnosis of environmental control system maintenance. The method including imaging, with at least one imaging unit, in real time at least one portion of an environmental control system in operation, wherein real time images register a dynamic feature of a dynamic predetermined characteristic of the at least one portion of the environmental control system, comparing, with a controller, the real time images of the at least one portion of the environmental control system with stored images of the at least one portion of the environmental control system in operation to identify a change in the dynamic feature of the dynamic predetermined characteristic of the at least one portion of the environmental control system, and determining, with the controller, whether an abnormality exists in the at least one portion of the environmental control system based on the identified change in the dynamic feature between the real time images and the stored images of the at least one portion of the environmental control system.
