Claim 11:
12. A handheld thermal imaging camera for contactless determination of a mold risk map of a setting, comprising:
at least one infrared detector array including a plurality of pixels sensitive to infrared radiation;
an input device; and
an evaluation device operably connected to the at least one infrared detector array and the input device, the 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 the 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,

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.
