Bluesky Maps Heat Loss as Britain Starts to Thaw

December 10, 2010 -- An aircraft fitted with specially developed survey equipment is taking to the skies over Britain’s cities at night. Using a new super-sensitive thermal sensor Leicestershire based aerial mapping company Bluesky is capturing highly accurate measurements of heat loss from buildings. The results of these night-time thermal surveys will provide Local Authorities, energy providers and even householders with intelligence to tackle energy inefficiency and fuel poverty across Britain’s towns and cities.

Bluesky’s new ‘microbolometer’ thermal camera has been specifically designed for airborne surveying and is ideal for use in aircraft flying at night. Combined with an advanced navigation and positioning system and improved sensor control and user interface Bluesky’s new generation thermal mapping system allows very accurate measurements of heat loss from individual property roofs to be recorded with higher precision and more consistent results than systems used in the past.

“We are using the only fully integrated geospatial thermal infrared system in use in the UK and it is enabling significant improvements in the accuracy and efficiency of data capture,” commented Rachel Tidmarsh Managing Director of Bluesky International. “Local authorities in particular are trying to improve energy efficiency and reduce carbon emissions and the accurate heat loss maps created from the thermal surveys enable better targeted and more effective energy efficiency campaigns.

”Bluesky is a UK-based specialist in aerial imaging and remote sensing data collection and processing. An internationally recognised leader with projects extending around the globe, Bluesky is proud to work with prestigious organisations such as Google, the BBC and Government Agencies. Bluesky has unrivalled expertise in the creation of seamless, digital aerial photography, 3D landscape/cityscape visualisations and prints and also runs a national mapping centre, providing digital mapping, satellite imagery and aerial photography including ultra-high resolution imagery of cities and towns
