Hi,
my
name
is
Adam
and
I'm,
with
Arlington
County's
rethink
energy
program
in
this
video
I'm.
Gonna
briefly
show
you
how
to
use
the
FLIR
one
thermal
imaging
camera.
This
is
an
awesome
tool
that
Arlington
residents
can
check
out
from
the
Arlington
County
Library.
Why
is
it
awesome?
Because,
with
this
camera,
you
will
be
able
to
see
what
you
can't
with
your
eye
you'll,
be
able
to
see
areas
of
missing
insulation
in
your
home,
identify
air
leaks
and
find
ways
to
make
your
home
more
comfortable.
A
There
are
three
simple
steps
to
use
your
thermal
camera
once
you
get
it
from
the
Arlington
County
Library,
step,
1
plug
in
the
camera
and
charge
it
up
using
your
phone
or
tablet
charger
step
to
download
the
FLIR
one
app
from
your
Apple
or
Google
Play
Store.
This
thermal
camera
must
connect
to
your
phone
or
tablet
in
order
to
use
it
step,
3
open
the
app
and
connect
the
camera.
So
now
that
you
have
the
thermal
camera
connected,
your
smartphone
or
tablet
pointed
at
something
like
your
front
door.
A
The
blue
areas
are
the
coldest
and
the
red
areas
are
the
warmest
walk
all
around
your
home
even
get
outside
of
your
home.
Look
at
your
roof.
You
might
be
able
to
see
areas
of
missing
insulation.
It's
important
to
remember
that
these
cameras
work
best
when
there's
at
least
a
20
degree
difference
inside
and
outside
of
your
home.
A
So
what
happens
if
you
do
spot
an
issue
depends
on
you
if
you're
handy
with
a
caulk
gun-
and
you
can
install
insulation-
don't
hesitate,
jump
right
in
if
not
or
if
you
aren't
quite
sure
what
these
images
show.
Don't
hesitate
to
contact
an
energy
auditor
they'll
be
able
to
give
you
a
comprehensive
evaluation
of
your
home
and
a
prioritized
list
of
ways
to
make
changes
that
will
make
it
more
comfortable
and
save
energy.
So
that's
it.
Thanks
to
the
rethink
energy
team
and
Arlington
County
Library
go.
What
are
you
waiting
for?
