it will be extremely inefficient, and eventually shut itself down

that's why you need to keep a space between the installation

flir can pickup sig on external walls only,
when creating a second layer with 2' beams
your adding the second layer the flir cannot pickup
the foil then blocks the IR from picking the heat sig behind it only

remember, your external walls will not stop being hot
they will still show hot on flir, but not a grow room sig

you also need to install the foil with the reflecting side of it facing your property to protect
this will help spread the heat evenly across, to prevent heat spotting from being detected

the reflective side will distribute the heat evenly inside,
making the heat sig that's picked up on the external walls seem even

if you hit the foil as the first layer with flir, it will completely block IR and show a black patch instead
it will not block or hide the heat sig between it and a median wall!!!

in this case and in general heavy insulation will resolve this

in states that mandate a 40R/45R insulation code, flir is useless in these areas for any indoor detection




spreading the hot air into the attic should work fine,
I'm killing my heat with a dedicated AC unit and an icebox

I've heard of folks with access who directed their hot air into the main sower line

hope this makes sense

how's that for paranoid

they need a warrant to flir anyone here in the USA
if they got one, they must have a reason

there are many ways to hide your heat sig, its not a big deal as it seems
if you can, take the route of an Icebox with a Sun Shield on top
with this combo, you will remove the heat, and block flir detection
the sun shield is equip with both heavy insulation and IR blocking layer

rule of thumb
IR foil will block F.L.I.R and other IR devices
as it bounces IR rays off of its own surface!!!
it does not and will not block or insulate the heat!

hope this helps to makes sense
as they want you to think it has more capabilities than it really does
existing information is deliberately kept vague, i believe its called scare tactics and PR by the company that sales the product

take a hit; calm yourself down, and grow safley

or should i build something over the window with a 125mm hole so that i can fit my ducting in there that pulls in fresh air.. the rest will go out up to the attic.. good idea, or not ???

How will i close the window again ?

this is my problem i have.. i dont want it open all the time.

:S

any help would be great ...
