Leeds City Council has used a precursor to satellite imagery to identify the heat loss from homes in the city.
Earlier this spring, a specially equipped plane mounted with a thermal imaging camera flew over Leeds. The flight captured data that reveals insights into how much heat is being lost from the buildings below.
The aerial thermal imaging technique, developed by Satellite Vu, can help identify the ‘leakiest’ buildings in a large area. It promises to collect and analyse heat loss data at an unprecedented level of detail and scale, according to the council. Eventually, the technique will use cameras on orbiting satellites.
