Claim 14:
15. A system, comprising:
at least one handheld thermal imaging camera including
at least one infrared detector array including a plurality of pixels sensitive to infrared radiation,
an input device, and
an evaluation device configured to
calculate two-dimensional temperature information comprising a thermal image of the setting using the at least one infrared detector array,
determine at least one of ambient humidity information and ambient air temperature information,
determine a selected mold growth model of a plurality of mold growth models based on an input from the input device, and
calculate a mold risk map of the setting using the selected mold growth model based on the calculated two-dimensional temperature information, and the determined at least one of ambient humidity information and ambient air temperature information; and

a sensor system external to the at least one thermal imaging camera and configured to determine at least one of the ambient humidity information and the ambient air temperature information,
wherein the mold risk map includes two dimensional information about a mold formation risk, and
wherein the plurality of mold growth models includes an isopleth mold growth model and a Viitanen mold growth model.
