The City of Kamloops has recently partnered with the Thompson-Nicola Regional Library (TNRL) and FortisBC to launch the See the Heat program.
This program will allow TNRL members to take home thermal imaging cameras and use it with their smartphones to investigate how well their home is insulated. Members will then receive a free FortisBC draft proofing kit which can be used to fix minor energy retrofits.
The goal of the partnership is to create energy literacy in the community and improve the comfort of homes.
“These thermal imaging cameras provide really striking images,” says Glen Cheetham, the Sustainability Services Supervisor for the City of Kamloops.
“They make the somewhat abstract concept of heat loss more tangible for people, which we hope motivates improvements to home energy efficiency.”
The new program will be launching on Jan. 28, at the downtown library from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Staff will be on hand to conduct hands-on demonstrations of the equipment.
