Default How to make the most of thermographic camera?

Yesterday I found out from my brother-in-law that his workplace has a higher-end thermographic camera, and that he may be able to borrow it, free of charge!!

I begged him to do so, but I would like to make the most of this chance to see how leaky our house is. So what should I pay attention to when taking a thermo-pic of the house?
  • I assume the when taking the shots I should not stand near any heat sources, nor should there be any close to the line of sight.
  • Shooting when it is really cold will give better contrast.
  • Should I bump the house's indoor temperature a degree or two to get even better contrast?
  • Does it matter whether it is night or day (as long as there is no direct sun)?
  • How far from the target should I be?
Anything else?
