Readings can be made at any time. Ensuring that some are done in worst conditions such as high occupancy, intense activity, very cold winter day, very hot summer day, high humidity, intense sun, some doors and windows closed or opened, creates enough scenarios to test various improvements.

Keep in mind that the further you are from the surface you point the thermometer at, the wider the measurement area so if accurate evaluations are required, the device should be placed as close as possible to the area of interest. To gauge what is actually measured, the scan radius laser pointer cast from the thermometer is very important.

Measurement at a distance of around 3m, with this sample unit, is averaged inside a 20 centimeters diameter circle.

~~Measurement radius~~ at ~~a distance~~ of ~~around 3m with a sample device~~ is ~~around 20 centimeters diameter~~, ~~meaning that~~ the ~~value is averaged over this area. Accuracy~~ is ~~slightly lower as distance increases over 50 centimeters~~.
