Title
Thermal 3D modeling of indoor environments for saving energy
Abstract
Heat and air conditioning losses in buildings and factories lead to a large amount of wasted energy. The Action Plan for Energy Efficiency [4] of the European Commission estimates that the largest cost-effective energy savings potential lies in residential (≈ 27%) and commercial (≈ 30%) buildings. Imagine a technology that creates a precise digital 3D model of heat distribution and heat flow enabling one to detect all sources of wasted energy and to modify buildings to reach these savings. This video presents our approach to this task. Methods for creating a consistent laser scan model enhanced with information from thermal and optical cameras are presented.
