At our building science class, our instructor said the learning curve to understand the IR camera was very short, compare to learning building science.
The level II and level III Thermographers in the room said they were COMPLETLY lost when the course starting going over ALL the aspects of a building.
They all agreed that an infrared camera in the hands of a Level III Thermographer would be useless in analyzing a building.
Only a qualified and trained home inspector can make his tool work properly. The IR camera is only a tool, but it is the person’s knowledge of buildings and their systems that makes the expert.
Give a new saw to a master carpenter and he can make it do wonders. Give a new saw to an idiot and he will be dangerous…
