Finding the cold and hot spots in the envelope with an infrared thermometer
I asked a few weeks back for advice on an affordable infrared detector for finding cold spots to pinpoint infiltration problems, heat loss and insulation effects. I found a mid-range infrared thermometer: "IRT207 Heat Seeker." You can pick it up for under $30 at Amazon. I have had mine for two weeks and it is getting a workout as I caulk and seal prior to insulating.

It might be a lot faster and more accurate to rent a real IR
imager. $70 or 80 per day at HD, a nice hi-res FLIR i7, and
you can shoot everything after dark and save all the pictures out
onto your computer for reference before returning the camera.
