Neither IR film nor common IR-sensitive digital cameras will work for an
energy audit. IR photography is generally near-IR, wavelengths less
than 1000nm. You'll need much longer-wavelength IR to see the
temperature ranges for an energy audit. That typically uses a
supercooled sensor, very specialized equipment.
