This is only intended to be a broad brush attempt at looking at the thermal efficiency of various homes and give the ability to approach home owners of the worst offending properties, such as ones with brightly glowing roofs... although as quite rightly pointed out before they might have a weed factory up there!

Any recommendations on Cameras that could be used for this project?]]> http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=3290&Focus=233706#Comment_233706 http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=3290&Focus=233706#Comment_233706 Tue, 15 Dec 2015 10:36:14 +0000 gravelld
I don't think those are "professional" grade so how well they'll work for imaging lots of houses in high detail I'm not sure...

Remember there are also transition groups around you can hire from, or pay for hiring from plant firms. I paid £130ish last year for a weeks hire of a FLIR i3. It worked but very narrow field of view. I would definitely purchase the above cameras for a bit more these days.]]> http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=3290&Focus=233775#Comment_233775 http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=3290&Focus=233775#Comment_233775 Wed, 16 Dec 2015 15:29:08 +0000 dazdread http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=3290&Focus=233782#Comment_233782 http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=3290&Focus=233782#Comment_233782 Wed, 16 Dec 2015 20:15:06 +0000 rhamdu Posted By: dazdreadNot sure how data protection factors into this Steamy tea, there will be no PII on there for external consumption just a thermal image of a house.

Has this ever been tested in court? I don't think the data protection act was drafted with thermal imaging in mind. My personal view is that thermal imaging has more in common with conventional photography than with, for example, tuning into somebody's wifi (the next bit of the electromagnetic spectrum). But there could be ingenious legal arguments either way.]]> http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=3290&Focus=233785#Comment_233785 http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=3290&Focus=233785#Comment_233785 Wed, 16 Dec 2015 21:06:04 +0000 djh Posted By: rhamduMy personal view is that thermal imaging has more in common with conventional photography
I suspect that's about right. I think any personal information might be associated with the release that you get in order to show that you had in order to take the picture from within the private property, since that will probably include a name and address as well as a signature.]]> http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=3290&Focus=233834#Comment_233834 http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=3290&Focus=233834#Comment_233834 Thu, 17 Dec 2015 17:00:33 +0000 dazdread
The idea is to team up with a new project started here offering help to homeowners by contacting and referring homes with obvious issues. Any internal images would be the property of the home owner or stored in a private account that they would have to subscribe to.

Still wondering if there are any camera recommendations out there.]]> http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=3290&Focus=233842#Comment_233842 http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=3290&Focus=233842#Comment_233842 Thu, 17 Dec 2015 20:14:07 +0000 gravelld http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=3290&Focus=233844#Comment_233844 http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=3290&Focus=233844#Comment_233844 Thu, 17 Dec 2015 21:11:06 +0000 tony

Your not allowed to just collect data and contact people these days.

Hi gravelld. We are going to apply a grant for the whole thing, I have ear marked £6K on the application but would rather spec and cost the appropriate camera before making the application.

Thanks for the offer Tony but we are in Leicestershire and I don't think our budget stretches to launching a satellite... just think of the pollution!]]> http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=3290&Focus=233888#Comment_233888 http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=3290&Focus=233888#Comment_233888 Fri, 18 Dec 2015 16:40:26 +0000 tony http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=3290&Focus=233905#Comment_233905 http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=3290&Focus=233905#Comment_233905 Fri, 18 Dec 2015 21:41:12 +0000 billt http://shropshire.gov.uk/private-sector-housing/aerial-thermal-survey-for-shropshire/ , the interactive map is at the bottom of the page.

As far as I can see it's a complete waste of time and resources. For instance, apparently one of the most efficient building in Bridgnorth is St Mary Magdalene's Church, together with the disused aluminium works.

Knowing the outside temperature of a building does not relate to its efficiency.]]> http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=3290&Focus=233906#Comment_233906 http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=3290&Focus=233906#Comment_233906 Fri, 18 Dec 2015 22:05:01 +0000 SteamyTea ]]> http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=3290&Focus=233909#Comment_233909 http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=3290&Focus=233909#Comment_233909 Fri, 18 Dec 2015 22:22:56 +0000 djh Posted By: SteamyTeaAn aerial picture on a snowy day may be more useful.

You're in Leicestershire! Same here. I tried to hire a camera a couple of years ago from a transition group here, never heard back. It'd be good to have some more surveying equipment available.]]> http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=3290&Focus=234529#Comment_234529 http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=3290&Focus=234529#Comment_234529 Thu, 07 Jan 2016 18:20:28 +0000 chippyclaus http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=3290&Focus=234532#Comment_234532 http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=3290&Focus=234532#Comment_234532 Thu, 07 Jan 2016 20:18:59 +0000 billt http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=3290&Focus=234563#Comment_234563 http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=3290&Focus=234563#Comment_234563 Fri, 08 Jan 2016 17:54:13 +0000 SteveZ
