I'm not so much worried about the thermal image as much as the pattern of energy used. I had an outragous electric one bill time so I asked the elec co about it and they sent me a report on the electric usage on an hour by hour basis. I guess there is some sort of device that sends my electric usage to a satallite or something every hour. (and this is in B.F.O. ) I've been a bit reluctant to grow indoors since then. I mean if you have high voltage lights on a timer it really would take much a program to id "unusual" energy usage patterns.

Maybe low energy L.E.D.'s might help but still if they are on a timer that has got be easy to spot. I'm thinking maybe a sky light window might be the way I go next time. Natural sunlight but still indoors away from critters and other nosey pests.
