More and more people are getting into using thermography for building insulation inspections. Unfortunately, many either buy the wrong imaging system—some of the very low cost ones simply don’t have either the resolution or thermal sensitivity required—or fail to get adequate training. BOTH are a mistake! While inspections seem easy, most often they are […]
We know last week’s solar infrared image stumped most of you—and this week’s might as well! OR it could “power” you through your day…

Answer: Image is of an insufficient insulated home! I’m sure you all knew this…so let us go more in-depth. First off, it is the home of our very own John Pratten (go figure!). […]
Inspecting buildings with today’s imaging systems seems so easy. However, many thermographers are discovering the hard way that is not! If you know the basics, you should be able to get good results most of the year—but without that foundation of knowledge, you’ll never even know what you missed.
To be successful, you must […]
We’re back! Obvious? Bet you don’t know whose it is…

This just in: The Home Star Energy Retrofit Act of 2010 (HR 5019) has just passed with the House of Representatives—by a large margin, at that! With a vote of 246 to 161, US Homeowners can continue to work towards their cause, contributing major efforts to increase energy-efficiency within their homes. Not only that, but […]
