- Abstract
- The effectiveness of aerial infrared thermography as a residential energy analysis procedure is investigated. Factors affecting the accuracy and utility of the technique are identified and analyzed, including the effects of location microclimate and different thermostat set-points. Guidelines are presented concerning the recommended use of aerial thermography as a procedure for assessing the thermal performance of residences.
