Infrared Street View: A Large-Scale Survey of the Thermal Envelopes of Our Dwellings through Citizen Science
IFI is developing technologies to support a citizen science program to crowdsource a thermal equivalent of Google's Street View. Instead of showing the streets in visible light, the Infrared Street View shows them in thermal infrared light, creating pictures of the energy landscapes of our neighborhoods, towns, and cities. The project aims to promote people's awareness of energy usage and efficiency in the wake of climate change. Web-based versionThe Web-based version allows users to explore the Infrared Street View from any browser.
Smartphone-based versionThe smartphone version of the Infrared Street View version is implemented in a different way:
The following images compare the Google Street View and the Infrared Street View on the phone:
