Map building heat loss using drone thermal imagery to plan energy efficiency retrofits

Demo

You can use Kestrix to map and evaluate building heat loss using drone-captured visible and thermal images. It identifies insulation defects, thermal bridging, and structural anomalies across residential portfolios without requiring internal home visits. The system calculates heating demands and assesses suitability for air source heat pumps and rooftop solar installations. You can compare real-world thermal data against official energy performance certificates to prioritize property retrofits. After upgrades are finished, you can run follow-up scans to confirm insulation quality and measure actual carbon and energy bill savings.
