City of College Station's Thermographic Mobile Scan
Abstract
During the first quarter of 1986, the City of
College Station conducted a thermographic mobile
scan of the entire city. A thermographic mobile
scan is a process by which heat loss/heat gain data
is accumulated by a vehicle traveling the city with
thermographic equipment mounted on it. College
Station residents were given the opportunity to
view a thermogram of their home which showed where
heat is escaping in the winter and gained in the
summer. A computer run of this data was provided
to the citizen with recommendations and exact paybacks
on various energy conservation improvements.
