Bolno, Jim

Information is presented on the capabilities of various thermal infrared sensing technologies and equipment. Examples of their use in inventories of energy loss from both individual buildings and community-wide perspectives are included. Discussions cover both ground and aerial surveys and include procedures for program evaluation. Two case studies of cities that have used these technologies are presented. A tabular comparison of equipment specifications is presented and listings of experts, organizations, and reference sources for further detailed information are given.
