Learn How To Avoid IR and fl-IR cameras...

IR Blocker also known as REFLECTIX

Here's a little information that may be helpful to all that needs it. If your ladies' room is notorious for the heat that it emits here a MUST to look into. Some grow sites are renaming it and is selling it for ridiculous prices, but the original technology can be found at your local Lowe's or Home Depot for a 1/4 of the price.

Click on the links to learn more about the technology:

It was originally made to keep UV rays out, and your room cooler. But as many other things you can use it for more that the original purpose. You can also use this to block your heat signature for IR and fl-IR. When you're room is covered with REFLECTIX, the IR camera only reads the area as a cold spot Since heat does not enter (which was the original purpose) but also heat does register as leaving either on their cameras.

Where does the heat(thermal energy) go ?
In physics, the law of conservation of energy states that the total amount of energy in any isolated system remains constant but cannot be recreated, although it may change forms, e.g. friction turns kinetic energy into thermal energy. In thermodynamics, the first law of thermodynamics is a statement of the conservation of energy for thermodynamic systems, and is the more encompassing version of the conservation of energy. In short, the law of conservation of energy states that energy can not be created or destroyed, it can only be changed from one form to another or transferred from one body to another, but the total amount of energy remains constant (the same).

I'm guessing out an exhaust fan, which if done properly can be hidden.

I'm with Tetra on this one. The heat has to go somewhere.

the heat gets exhausted by your fans. all the material does is prevent the transfer of heat through the material, and therefore, any walls it adorns. if you vent your exhaust to something that would normally be warm, like an a/c unit's vicinity, or near a hot tub or pool house, etc... you can minimize your signature. Either way, if someone is using FLIR to inspect your home in the US, they've already got a warrant, and so you'll most likely be fucked in no time anyway.

You got it, that was my next post,the warrant thing.
