This study introduces a novel, low-cost, non-contact measurement system for heat flux estimation based on an enhanced thermometric method. The customized was designed and assembled to implement non-contact, indirect approach assessment. Developed as affordable alternative conventional contact-based techniques, it is suitable historical buildings, where invasive sensors could compromise structural integrity. integrates real-time data acquisition, remote access via web-based interface, automated processing, enhancing both usability efficiency. Laboratory tests were conducted evaluate its performance, with results compared against from widely used flow plates air/surface temperature sensors. showed good agreement between the proposed method reference data. Small differences observed values measured by air (0.10 °C average), well contact surface (0.12 average). Finally, percentage variations −6% −5% in terms of fluxes confirmed reliability approach. These findings provide strong foundation further testing, including applications real buildings.
