Sustainable Tring
Community-led action to inspire sustainable living in and around Tring, Hertfordshire
Worried about your energy bills?
If so, would you like to see thermal images of your home? This could help you find out where your home is losing the most heat, to target heat-saving measures such as insulation and reduce your energy bills and carbon footprint.
What is it?
All objects emit infra-red radiation. A thermal imaging camera will measure this and process it into a multi-coloured image in which the colours vary according to the surface temperature.
Sustainable Tring, supported by a Green Community Grant from Dacorum Borough Council are offering a thermal imaging service for homes in and around Tring.
The objective is to help reduce our home energy use and carbon footprint.
The service
The service is carried out by a team of trained volunteers. It is not a professional heat loss assessment, and no fees are charged, but a voluntary donation to Sustainable Tring of £25 is welcomed:
Account Name: Sustainable Tring Account Type: Organisation/Business Account Sort Code: 08 92 99 Account Number: 65801642
This supports us to help more people reduce their energy bills. For best results the images are taken when it is dark, when the temperature outside is lower than 10 degrees and it is not wet or windy.
In partnership with Dacorum CAN
Bookings for the coming winter, starting in January 2026 will be on a first come first served basis, with priority given to those struggling with their bills.
The service will be limited according to the capacity of the team.
