Siemens has developed a new technology that can detect
energy losses in large buildings and even entire city districts. The technology
uses an image processing system that works with aerial photographs taken by a
camera drone. The system software uses the data from the cameras to create a
three-dimensional model that visibly depicts thermal radiation, liquid and gas
losses, areas with poor insulation, and spots with heavy moisture. The
technology is already being used in the construction project for the new Aspern
Urban Lakeside district in Vienna, Austria.
