What’s on

Sustainable St Albans has three thermal imaging cameras the residents of the St Albans District can borrow – one in St Albans, one in Harpenden and one which is available to community groups. A thermal imaging camera enables you to see heat leaking from your house or cold air coming into your house by taking colour-coded pictures highlighting temperature differences. Using the camera can therefore highlight insufficient loft insulation, gaps in floorboards, draughty windows and badly fitted loft hatches all of which allow precious warmth to escape from your house, meaning you use more fuel to keep your house warm. In order to borrow the camera you must first attend a free online information session; these sessions cover:

• An introduction to the Thermal Imaging Camera project
• What you can learn about your home by using the camera
• Where you can find further resources on, for example, draught proofing your house
• How to use the camera with Q&A.
• The arrangements for booking to borrow the camera, for the safe collection and return of the camera and the handling of deposits, with Q&A.

Before you attend the session please

• read the St Albans Information Pack 

• watch the ten minute video “How to use the St Albans Camera video” on https://sustainablestalbans.org/efficient-buildings/thermal-imaging-camera/

It is free for residents of the St Albans District to attend these sessions and to borrow the camera. A refundable £200 security deposit is however required. Donations are always welcome. Go to Sustainable St Albans Event Page to book your place.
