All substances are somewhat transparent to IR. If a corp were to make their walls radiate
at the same temperature as their guards, most people in the building would have severe
problems, as this would be close to 30 degrees (F) above a comfortable working
environment. If the guards (presumably wearing bulky armour and such like) had to
chase down a team of runners, they may just pass out from heat prostration. All that the
person with IR vision would have to do to avoid this problem would be to see the green
uniform against the white wall.
