- Abstract
- Thermography, which involves the analysis of thermal infrared images, has been widely used in energy conservation promotion programs as a tool to determine which buildings, or portions of buildings, are most in need of conservation improvements. This report presents the results of the second phase of a multi-year program directed toward the development of a quantitative method for assessing building heat loss using aerial thermography. Aerial thermography is particularly attractive as a tool for energy conservation programs because it requires few technical personnel and no homeowner involvement.
