Thermal Camera Investigation

A lot of warm or cool air can be lost through doors that have gaps around the edges. Point the circle in the center of the camera at the middle of an exterior door and record the temperature, then record the temperature around the bottom edge of the door if it is a different color.

Windows can be a significant source of heat loss or gain as well. Find an exterior window and point the circle in the center of the camera at it to record its temperature. Then record the temperature of the wall next to the window.

Sometimes devices we don’t think about use more energy than we expect. These devices usually are warmer than their surroundings. Try to find three different items that are warmer than the things around them and record their approximate temperature by pointing the circle in the center of the camera at the brighter colors.
