Energy Efficiency Inspections (e.g. Retrofits)
Growing to a target 500,000 retrofits by 2025 (UKGBC) and 1m a year by 2030 the energy efficiency industry needs to look to technology to help it scale the number of inspections being undertaken.
Benefits:
- Automated room scanning and measurements: Make the assessors more efficient on site by saving time spent measuring and drawing floor plans. Automatically detect and measure windows, doors and other key objects.
- Faster audits and decarbonisation: Remote inspections cut out travel time and enabled inspectors to triple their output without taking on more staff and reduces their carbon footprint by ~7.5kg per inspection.
- AI Detection of Non-compliance: Identifies areas of non-compliance in guidance such as PAS2035.
