Hmm, somebody with a (edited: somewhere in the UK) accent explaining how to use one of these in a home energy audit. #energy #flir #thermalcamera https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cz6bJW53BgE

This is probably why they got it for me, I mentioned these were handy to find water leaks (and water in walls). Too late for that now, but I guess I can give free energy audits to anyone who lives near me, LOL. #thermalimager #flir #energy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gohEc3u3Ot4

@ai6yr I really wished I had one of those when I started to suspect one of our kitchen walls (in the last house) had no insulation. I confirmed it with a lot of laser-thermometer work on hot and cold days, but it would’ve been much easier to convince my husband with a camera 😂 Do your house! Do the house you’re staying in! I bet you’ll find some weird secret insulation-gaps.
(Do you know any equestrians? We love those things too for evaluating saddle fit by looking at the blood flow in the horse’s back!)

@donkeyherder Oh, had no idea that was useful for equestrians too!

@donkeyherder I've already found the house we're staying in is missing insulation in several parts of the roof, LOL.

@ai6yr @donkeyherder Try measure from outside in. On the coldest days. You'll get the best contrast that way. Outside of house should be consistently cool and those hot leaks glow really visible.

@oh8hub @donkeyherder Looking forward to it!

@ai6yr You can also use it to find your cat.

@gparker technology is only useful if it is applied to cats, LOL.

@ai6yr definitely not from anywhere in Scotland. North east England, I think. Not Newcastle, not Sunderland, maybe somewhere towards Durham?

@simon_brooke Ha! I forget how closely someone's accent can be tied to a city or neighborhood there in the UK.
