While not the answer you wanted, you might check out some of
the astronomy stuff/groups. They are often into cooled sensors
(which I believe you need to do thermal imaging of a house).
From what little I have seen, they are special cameras (look at
the long IR, not the short IR like you can with some camcorders
and digital cameras) and are way out of my price range !!
I don't think you will find the camcorders that have the IR cutout
for "nightshot" (like Sony) will be able to "see" the longwave IR
from house leakage.
