Implementing a thermographic inspection service in a residential energy conservation program offers numerous benefits to consumers, the conservation program, and the provider of this service. A description of the need for thermographic inspections, the problems encountered in setting up this service, the interface of the technical and non-technical sectors will be discussed in addition to the benefits to be gained through thermographic inspections. The credibility of a residential energy conservation service can be enhanced tremendously through the implementation of a thermographic inspection service. The need for thermography and its resultant benefits can provide a barometer for the future implementation of thermography within residential conservation programs.
