2.9 Whiz Quiz - Answers

Detecting and monitoring heat loss from buildings in urban areas is an excellent application of thermal remote sensing. Heating costs, particularly in northern countries such as Canada, can be very expensive. Thermal imaging in both residential and commercial areas allows us to identify specific buildings, or parts of buildings, where heat is escaping. If the amount of heat is significant, these areas can be targeted for repair and re-insulation to reduce costs and conserve energy.
