The Green Cocoon has many tools in its arsenal to help you stay warm and save you money. One of those tools is a thermal imaging camera. Where and why do we use it? We use it when we come to your home to evaluate your space. We use the camera to show you where cold air is coming in. Also, the camera comes in handy when we need to discover if there is insulation inside a wall or ceiling. We don’t have to guess. The camera tells us!
What is a thermal imaging camera?
Thermal imaging cameras are devices that translate thermal energy (heat) into visible light. This is done in order to analyze a particular object or scene. Furthermore, the image it produces is known as a thermogram. The analysis of a thermogram is done through a process called thermography. Thermal imaging cameras are sophisticated devices that process the captured image and display it on a screen. The image can be used for immediate diagnosis. Or, they can be processed through specialized software for further evaluation, accuracy, and report output. Consequently, thermal imaging cameras take measuring temperature to the next level. Instead of getting a number for the temperature, you get a picture showing differences in temperature.[i]
Thermal imaging camera applications and uses
The first commercial thermal imaging camera sold in 1965 for high voltage power line inspections.[ii] Since then, thermal imaging cameras have been used in many fields. Firefighters use them to see through smoke, find people, and localize hotspots of fires. Additionally, physiological activities can also be monitored with thermographic imaging. Fever in human beings and other warm-blooded animals is just one of many.
Building construction technicians can see heat leaks to improve the efficiencies of cooling or heating. Additionally, thermal imaging cameras are a common tool used by home inspectors.
Camera used in our evaluation
When our salesperson comes to evaluate the space you would like to insulate, they will be using a Thermal Imaging Camera. Having a tool that instantly shows a client where and how much insulation is needed, is invaluable.

Detect Hidden Energy Loss with Thermal Imaging
Even small gaps in insulation can cause major heat loss, higher energy bills, and inconsistent indoor temperatures. A thermal imaging camera gives a clear, real-time view of where your home is losing energy. The Green Cocoon’s expert technicians use this technology to pinpoint problem areas that are not visible to the naked eye, such as drafts in walls, ceilings, and floors.
After identifying these trouble areas, our skilled insulation experts can suggest effective solutions, such as spray foam insulation , which seal gaps and enhances your home’s overall comfort. This process enables homeowners to save energy, reduce heating and cooling costs, and create an eco-friendlier home.
Optimize Your Home’s Insulation with Expert Services
Once the areas of energy loss have been identified, The Green Cocoon provides targeted insulation upgrades using some of the best materials in the industry. We offer both closed-cell and open-cell spray foam insulation to suit every home.
- Closed-cell spray foam insulation is a dense, water-resistant material that works well in basements, crawl spaces, and exterior walls.
- Open-cell spray foam insulation provides excellent sound reduction and flexibility, making it ideal for interior walls and attics.
By combining these modern insulation techniques with accurate thermal imaging, we help homeowners make smart choices and enjoy long-term energy efficiency.
As a reputable insulation contractor, The Green Cocoon is proud to provide safe, environmentally friendly services that enhance comfort and minimize waste. Our team uses advanced technology not only to detect problems but also to ensure all insulation work meets the highest performance standards.
Whether you’re building a new home or upgrading an existing one, our thermal imaging and insulation expertise work together to keep your living spaces warm, efficient, and sustainable.
