Would this work for measuring/checking heat loss around windows and doors in the winter? Thank you

It would not show the heated air like an IR camera would but it would show the temp of any surface that was heated up by escaping hot air provided the surface was not reflective.

Not too far a range. If the panels are small it might work. If your bay windows are large then you would have to use one for each panel. Good luck.

Should work . Husband even used it to check for heat / coldness of our house windows for drafts . Bit, the main use in our house is temp of oil for chicken wing and deep fryer for Turkey . When he gets it he's checking temps all over even my boobs... Donna lol lol

No. It only measures surface temps. On a side note, my unit broke within an hour of delivery. I would not recommend this product.

I have used this device mounted on the interior but looking through a window to the outside. The performance was poor during daylight/hot days but improved considerably at night or as the days got cooler. This is a device that looks for heat and the window glass it's looking through can get hot and obscure any movement detections.

I don't think so, but I have not tried it. It is to measure surface temperature. If you point it at the interior wall, it will measure that temperature, but not air temperature or working temperature.

It sticks on the window well even at very cold temperatures. I can't address very warm temperatures, though. The thing is inaccurate as heck, though. It's gotten more inaccurate over time - 10 to 15 degrees off. I'd never buy one again. It's pretty useless. Just sayin'.

I use it to monitor the temp and check if there is water in a room that is unheated - I have seen it down as low as 25 degrees. It works well.

I'm not sure how it would work for that. I use it around the doors on my car to keep moisture from freezing and it lasts a little over a year for that.

Probably not as a direct reading. Likely the surface temperature of the glass will be read. You would likely have more luck measuring the surrounding walls and frame.

This does not distinguish parts of the solar spectrum (infrared, visible, uva, uvb, etc) so probably not. I use it to check the overall solar irradiation level as measured in Watts per Meter^2 (which is generally from 0 W/m2 to 1300 W/mw on ground level).

Personally I do not believe this is the best choice for what you intend to do. I would be checking with auto parts stores, and on line auto parts. You are getting quiet specific with the purpose of this simple little home tool. I use it to keep track of humidity for my instruments to assure the humidity is correct for them. you Salt Test these or any hygrometer to assure of its accuracy, but personally, I do not believe this is a humidifier that 1) you can trust for what you are doing and 2)unless it is purched inside your vehicle where you can have direct visual contact with it, then no. You do not want this one for your purposes. The little doo dad on the side is a temperature sensor you stick outside your window to evaluate the outside temperature and has no connection with humidity. Sorry, but I am guessing you are going to have to put out over $100 for a hydrometer to do what you are expecting, maybe even more.

Yes. The way I use all mine is to wrap an indoor outdoor temp sensor right in there with the heat tape. Then spray that foam insulation all around the set up. The sensor tells you what the temp is & I was pleasantly surprized at how much heat these things put out when you insulate them. Well above freezing.

Yes it works outside around windows and door way trim, it tell you temperature change of building.

I'm pretty sure that this isn't designed for spotting the air itself, it is designed for testing the temperature of the surface area itself. So you would be able to spot where the wall is colder, but not where the actual leak is coming from. I think you are right, you need a thermal camera.

It will, however it is not that accurate do to the location of the sensor one inch away from the heater. I have to adjust it to a higher setting than you would think so the room stays warm. It works well once you remember this, they should have made the sensor remote so it would be a true reading.

It will work but you might want to build simple frames to go over your windows maybe just inside the frameworkAnd use clear tape or staple it on the frame with a staple gun. It is nice and clear. We used it for a greenhouse andFor windows to help insulate the house.
