Earliest to use thermal camera

[bmj1]

Hi all,

 

When is the earliest I can use a thermal camera on our project to check for issues with gaps in insulation, etc ?

 

E.g. once all windows are in ?

 

Many thanks in advance

This is not an answer but a complement to this question. When is the earliest, as in, the earliest in the *year* - how cool does one have to wait for the outside temperature to decrease for it to make sense to use a thermal camera?

Normally when the heating is on to see the heat escaping there has to be a difference for the camera to see it so generally heating on full belt to see any leaks

air test first. Make up a blower door/window and chase down all the leaks before plasterboarding.

How do you do this exactly?
