I am trying to track down the cold air leaks in a house. I remember seeing something that reads the temerature of something when pointed at it, but I don't know what it is called.
Anyone know what the official name is?

Infrared thermometer. But a blower door test - Air infiltration test, profesionaly done is best. It will show how many air exchanges per day you have , how many you should have, and will pinpoint all your leaks.
You mean like an infared (spelling?) camera?

I believe the device you're looking for is made by Raytek, and perhaps others.
An infrared camera probably won't work unless you have special lenses and film that pass and are sensitive to the longer length thermal IR.
I agree with the suggestion that a survey by someone who knows what they're doing using a blower door is the best way to go.

Your local gas or electric company might do a scan for a nominal fee or even for free.
