Thermal imaging project community group resources
Thank you once again for signing up to deliver thermal imaging surveys in your local area. You are helping to save energy one thermal image at a time! Please find all of our useful guidance and resources below.
Running Your Project:
There are lots of different ways you can advertise the thermal imaging surveys: below are template flyers, magazine articles and social media posts. Previous groups have also found using local groups successful too, such as a repair café, food bank or going to local events.
If you know of a particular area in your community that may benefit from a thermal imaging survey, you could drop an opt out flyer through their doors and then visit them all. This means we can help those that might need it most. The thermal imaging survey starts a discussion about their energy efficiency, grants available and insulation to keep homes warm in winter and cool in summer.
Or you may choose to target homes with a low EPC rating as they are likely to be able to make the biggest improvement to their home’s energy efficiency. Visit the Government’s find an EPC website to find the homes with a low EPC rating in your area.
When you carry out the survey with the householder, you are likely to spot ways that they can make their home warmer and reduce their energy bills. Go to the next steps page for how to help them.

Training Webinars:
For the 2024-25 thermal imaging season, we are running 2 training webinars. The first will help you give householders basic advice to make their homes warmer, and the second is about how to interpret thermal images. It is important that these are watched by the people that will be carrying out the thermal imaging surveys, not just those organising the project.
Keep the Heat: Energy Advisor Training
The training covers a short intro to the project, and how to help residents reduce their energy bills and make their homes warmer. This will help you advise residents when carrying out thermal imaging surveys, and signpost them to available funding options. Here are the links to the recording, slides and slide notes from the training session in January. Please fill in the short feedback form so we know how to improve the training for the future.
Keep the Heat: How to Interpret Thermal Images Training
This training will help you spot where heat loss is occurring in residents’ homes and learn more about thermal imaging. Here’s the link to watch the recording of the training from November. Please fill in this short feedback form so we know how to improve the training for the future.
