Quantifiable Energy Audit

QEA Tech uses industrial drones to capture thousands of high-resolution thermal and visual images of a building's envelope. Its patented AI software analyses the images to find defects such as thermal bridging, moisture penetration and failing glazing units, and to quantify the energy lost through each component. The results feed a physics-based model, calibrated against utility and weather data, which calculates actual effective U-values and forecasts the energy, carbon and cost savings of bringing each element up to code. Clients get prioritised retrofit plans with payback periods, and QEA can re-audit a building after works to verify results. In one office case, a roof retrofit it recommended cut annual energy loss through the roof by 78%. RoofAssure applies the same approach to roofs, producing orthomosaic models with a thermal overlay.
