Infrared Training and the InterNACHI Message Board for IR

InterNACHI (International Association of Certified Home Inspectors, Inc) offers a web discussion forum.  Read access is public, posting requires registration and approval by a moderator, which can take quite some time.

The association offers a number of free benefits to certified members, and has many chapters and events.  Membership cost is $289.   If you're planning to get into Home Inspection, this could be a good investment of your time and money.


Back on topic, their home inspection forums include an area dedicated to "Thermal Imaging, Infrared Cameras & Energy Audits".  This is a relatively active message board (multiple posts per day).  Most of the participants have Fluke or FLIR products.

If you're thinking about getting started in Home Inspection, one member, John McKenna, is offering a training course including a Fluke TiR .   With completion you can become a Infrared Certified Thermographer:





Here's a simple example of the utility of Infrared Thermography in home and building inspection:
