Assessing Energy Impacts via Thermal Analysis

Abstract

The project aims to use a vehicle-mounted thermal camera and Artificial Intelligence (AI) to detect heat loss from homes on a city-wide scale. The data will be used to assess the condition of a property regarding its ability to retain heat and provide tailored recommendations addressing insulation problems. This critical first step allows for better targeting of necessary retrofits and offers a scientifically measured alternative or complementary approach to traditional EPC.

Potential new learnings include:

  • Understanding if thermal imaging from a vehicle a viable method is of identifying heat loss and fuel poverty, for customers in vulnerable situations at scale.
  • Using the results of the surveys to build heat loss archetypes of buildings with common heat loss patterns using ML models.
