A Mobile Low Cost Thermal System for Mapping Buildings Heat Losses
نویسندگان
چکیده
In tis this paper we describe a fast, low cost and high productive automatic mobile thermal mapping solution based on an infrared thermal camera integrated with an GPS and inertial system. We developed a software to export the integrated data into one of the most powerful web-based mapping tool as GoogleEarth®. The acquired thermal images (data) are then loaded as Overlay Images into GoogleEarth®, generating a visual, georeferenced database describing the thermal distribution of the facades of the buildings along the acquisition path. The project has been funded by TÁMOP4.2.2.A-11/KONV-2012-0041 European Program. Keywords—Thermal, Mobile, System, Inertial, Integration;

The Project ThermalMapper - Thermal 3D Mapping of Indoor Environments for Saving Energy
Heat and air conditioning losses in buildings and factories lead to a large amount of wasted energy. The Action Plan for Energy Efficiency of the Commission of the European Communities (2008) 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 distrib...
متن کاملIRANIAN VERNACULAR ARCHITECTURE: NOTABLE EXAMPLE OF A THERMAL MASS
In some climates, massive buildings made of stone, masonry, concrete, earth and … can be utilized as one of the simplest and most effective ways of reducing building heating and cooling loads. Very often such savings could be achieved in the design stage of the building and with a relatively low-cost. Such declines in building envelope heat losses combined with optimized material configurati...
متن کاملDistribution of Building Nonstructural Components in Height Subjected to Cost of Damage for Low-Rise Office Buildings
Exceeded losses of nonstructural components from structural ones in most demolished buildings in previous earthquakes and its limitation on functionality of critical facilities and building serviceability after earthquakes should be got the point of view for accounting loss of building as a merit for building performance. This paper attempts to demonstrate the significant role of distribution p...

In this study, the influence of type and structure of different roofing systems were investigated using computational fluid dynamic method. The considered roofing systems include beam and block types (clay brick, light weight concrete block, polystyrene) and Uboot slab which were designed for 6m and 8m span. To simulate the fluid flow and heat transfer, the computational fluid dynamic method wa...
متن کاملThe Effectiveness of Thermal Insulation in Lightweight Steel-Framed Walls with Respect to Its Position
Lightweight steel-framed (LSF) construction, given its advantages, has the potential to reach high standards in energy and environmental performance of buildings, such as nearly zero-energy buildings (nZEB). When compared with traditional construction, LSF system offers distinct benefits in such fields as sustainability, cost-effectiveness, constructive process, and safety at work. Despite the ...
