Houses and road, thermogram
Houses and road, thermogram. A thermogram shows the variation in temperature on the surface of an object, measured by the long-wave infrared radiation it emits. The temperature scale is colour-coded and runs from black (coldest) through blue, green, yellow and orange to red (warmest). This imaging technique can be used to check the energy efficiency of buildings. The roof of the house at left appears red because heat is being lost from its loft space

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Houses and road, thermogram" showcases the power of thermal imaging technology in assessing energy efficiency. The image depicts a row of houses and a road, with each element color-coded according to its temperature variation. The scale ranges from black (coldest) to red (warmest), providing valuable insights into heat loss and insulation. In this particular scene, the house on the left stands out with its vibrant red roof. This indicates that heat is escaping from its loft space, highlighting potential inefficiencies in its design or insulation. By utilizing infrared cameras and thermography techniques like this one, experts can evaluate buildings' thermal performance accurately. The significance of such assessments lies in their contribution towards mitigating climate change. Identifying areas where energy is being wasted allows for targeted improvements that reduce carbon footprints while enhancing overall building efficiency. Beyond residential applications, this cutting-edge technology finds relevance in various sectors including architecture and environmental science. It enables professionals to optimize central heating systems, roofing designs, and even vehicle engines by detecting areas prone to excessive heat loss. Through images like these captured by Science Photo Library's talented photographers, we gain a deeper understanding of how technological advancements can shape our built environment towards sustainability and energy conservation.
