Attic Hatch
This thermal image shows an attic hatch with a poorly sealed door allowing a large draft of 9 degree air to enter a room of 20 degrees. The cold spots around the hatch indicate insulation that was compressed by foot prints.

Ceiling Missing Insulation
This image shows the ceiling of a brand new home with a 2x3 foot section of insulation missing. The difference in temperature between the insulated and non-insulated area is about 8.6 degrees centigrade. Notice how the missing insulation substantially reduces the temperature of the entire corner of the room.
Batten Wall
This thermal image exposes a basement wall constructed with only three short pieces of batten insulation.

Leaking Roof
This thermal image exposes puddles of water resting on top of the vapor barrier in a ceiling where the water has leaked through old shingles. If the water had gone undetected until it had reached a drywall screw or seam in the vapor barrier then sections of the ceiling would have had to been replaced.
Vaulted ceiling
This is a vaulted ceiling in a brand new house. The builder neglected to insulate the entire main floor. After an attempt to blow in insulation large sections were missed. This thermal image shows that heavy condensation in the non-insulated areas has begun to soak the drywall.
Window and Socket Draft
This thermal image shows how a poorly insulated wall socket and a poorly sealed window are allowing large drafts to cool a room. The air around the socket has cooled the wall 8 degrees below room temperature.

Infrared Thermography
This is a powerfull tool that can easily detect problems that might be otherwise missed until the damage is extensive. It is also a great way to find air leaks and missing insulation.
