First of all, its highly expensive (already mentioned in the article) and out of reach for every home seeker/ buyer/ inspector. Secondly, accurate temperature measurements are actually being hampered by differing emissivities and reflections from other surfaces. So, conventional Thermographic methods for leak testing are not always perfect and lack in accuracy somehow. Most Thermographic cameras have ±2% accuracy or worse and are not as accurate as contact methods and are only able to directly detect surface temperatures. Thirdly... Thermography is a powerful but intricate technology... Thermographers must also understand common error sources that can influence observed thermal data. Great article by the way.
