944s2,
I re-read your original first post. It seems like you already have the Flir mask material and will be hanging it, regardless. You were just looking for others with actual experience using the same material. I kind of think you won't find that here, at least not from the contributions so far. I guess that makes you the pioneer, please let us know how it works for you.
How will you test it? Just stand outside and look inside to see if you have any leaks? Any idea on how to see like a FLIR camera does?
If you are blocking windows with Flir mask, do the windows still open? If so, would it help the IR emissions if you leave each window open a small crack to allow natural air flow between the glass and material? It might help reduce temperature differences in the surfaces that will be visible on FLIR. Does Leo really use FLIR in your area, or are you just extra cautious?
If you have an A/C unit and you are in a residential location in Essex, isn't just the fact that you need an A/C unit a big hint that you are burning shitloads of power with something inside? I thought A/C owned by private individuals was rather unusual in the UK. Will your neighbors notice the noise? I live in the American South and I have a two 3 ton A/C units, as do all my neighbors. The sound is definitely distinct and noticeable in neighboring properties. I can hear theirs, they can hear mine. You can hear a running compressor when walking or driving down the street if your car windows are open. No big surprise where I live, but would that be considered unusual in your neighborhood?
