What is the best time of day that displays the biggest difference between controls and normal surroundings?Is there a certain method of using a material that establishes control with thermal?What is the best size when determining a control with thermal due to the reduced resolution compared to a standard camera?

AluminumI still do believe we should pursue using aluminum as a method but not the foil variant. The main reason for this is because it wouldn't have enough of a difference in temperature variance to the surroundings specifically due to the thickness. Same reason why if you use foil to cool something over a fire, if you wait a couple of minutes, you can handle it with your hands. Basically, it adapts to the environment it's in very rapidly and I think that would throw off the results that we are striving towards. Another example of this would relate to small capacitors in electronics in how they charge rapidly, maintain charge (while under current), and then proceed to discharge rapidly and I believe this is a similar effect we'd get with the aluminum foil. I have found some aluminum sheets that are on the CODA page and also linked in the bottom of this message. They are 8"x8" aluminum sheets and vary in the specific thickness we'd desire. The thickness I think would work, as a minimum, would be 1/8" but thicker would definitely work better.

Problem - Establishing control with thermal is not attainable with conventional methods
Mainly due to sun exposure over period of time and with current materials not designed to create a difference in thermal readings.
Questions - What is the best way to establish control with thermal
Methods - Coming up with a list of ideas such as the ice water bath
Background Research - To see what is out there and what has been done
Equipment - Also start thinking of the equipment needed so I know what I need to do on my end
