To the OP: You might try contacting the New Zealand FLIR rep
here. The rep might be able to point you to a local firm who does thermal building analysis or where a rental camera might be available for 'do-it-yourself' applications. FLIR also offers thermography classes world-wide (including New Zealand in July) though the cost may be a bit more than you want to spend if you are not looking for professional certification.
FLIR is pretty cool. When I was in the Navy, we were doing marine interdiction in the Persian Gulf. One night, the helo crew put the footage to Hell's Bells by AC/DC. It was great watching the people on the ship moving around in the dark with the music building up.
