Running Your Project:

There are lots of different ways you can advertise the thermal imaging surveys: below are template flyers, magazine articles and social media posts. Previous groups have also found using local groups successful too, such as a repair café, food bank or going to local events.

If you know of a particular area in your community that may benefit from a thermal imaging survey, you could drop an opt out flyer through their doors and then visit them all. This means we can help those that might need it most. The thermal imaging survey starts a discussion about their energy efficiency, grants available and insulation to keep homes warm in winter and cool in summer.

Or you may choose to target homes with a low EPC rating as they are likely to be able to make the biggest improvement to their home’s energy efficiency. Visit the Government’s find an EPC website to find the homes with a low EPC rating in your area.

When you carry out the survey with the householder, you are likely to spot ways that they can make their home warmer and reduce their energy bills. Go to the next steps page for how to help them.

Advertising Templates:

Click on the links to edit each template. For the flyers, all you need to do is create a free Canva account, insert your group’s name, email address and dates, and then click the share button to download the poster. We recommend downloading it as a ‘PDF Print’. Or you can ‘print with Canva’.

Training Webinars:

For the 2024-25 thermal imaging season, we are running 2 training webinars. The first will help you give householders basic advice to make their homes warmer, and the second is about how to interpret thermal images. It is important that these are watched by the people that will be carrying out the thermal imaging surveys, not just those organising the project.
