Leeds City Council, GB Thermal Imagery Housing Upgrades

The MCS Charitable Foundation and Satellite Vu conducted a test of satellite imaging involving Leeds properties. Satellite Vu's network of mini-satellites gathers heat data from infrared cameras. Temperature data are turned into a rooftop heat index for Leeds, thus supporting accurate energy performance certificates for each property. This approach costs one-tenth of other imaging methods and advances the city's Priority Neighbourhoods initiative for home energy efficiency.
