Arrière plan

York University’s Office of Sustainability is working on improving sustainability efforts and minimizing inefficiencies across their campuses. The Office of Sustainability aims to use drone technology to create thermal maps of the campuses to find buildings that are inefficient and poorly insulated. 

Objectifs de l'événement

  • Create a thermal map of all York University campus buildings 

  • Find inefficiencies that can be corrected 

  • Determine where energy is being lost on York University’s campuses 

Contenu et structure

Drones with thermal imaging sensors are flown over the campus each Sunday morning to create a complete thermal map of the campus. These images are used to find inefficiencies and determine which buildings are most in need of upgrades to prevent excessive energy loss.
