A London borough used thermal imaging from the air to help identify properties with high heat loss and they’ve put the results online for anyone to see. Here’s the article in the The Times. And here’s the map showing the results.
I think it’s fantastic, provided the council follow it up with constructive advice to the worst homes and other buildings. Now what we need is a thermal version of Google Earth.

Thanks for that Casey. We can see who the culprits are and, more importantly, where they live. What would be the environmental impact of burning down all the red ones?
Well, one of the orange ones is a school I worked in and another houses my business partner- so I wouldnt be best pleased, but as for the rest…..
BURN AWAY!!!!!!!!!
Hold up, one of the orange ones belongs to one of the J’s in J3?!
Bedsit mate, James can’t even get him to put a bike rack in the front garden!
That’s just a map of people growing pot in their lofts, right?
Thats probably why they undertook the project in the first place- the heat loss bit was just an excuse that other councils could replicate
So… if you live at 26, 32, 34, 38 or 46 Cecile Park……WATCH OUT!!!!
Casey,
This whole project is the brainchild of a friend of Giles’. One of the people who were to invest in Econstruction, they are mapping specialists, and saw a potential niche. The real question is whether the information itself will have any real market value in pinpointing where to spend money. Presumably, it could be helpful to the utility companies target Energy Efficiency commitment monies etc.
