17.2 Working with insulation alarms
17.2.1 General
The Insulation alarm can detect areas where there may be an insulation deficiency in a
building. It will trigger when the insulation level (termed the thermal index in the camera
menu) falls below or above a preset value of the energy leakage through a wall (depend-
ing on the climate conditions).
Different building codes recommend different values for the insulation level, but typical
values are 60–80% for new buildings. Refer to your national building code for
recommendations.
