Recognize your house?



Spy plane maps roof heat loss in London neighborhood. I can see some good coming out of this, although roof heat loss is the most expensive kind to fix. But it might lead to things like re-caulked windows, added attic insulation, door seals and so on. All to the good.

So long as this isn't used as a stick by government, to force homeowners into action. And I wouldn't put it past the UK to do just that.

I had a conversation with a Dutch friend of mine who told me that this kind of information is being used to identify illegal marijuana growing in Amsterdam.
Along with monitoring energy usage, heat sensing can be used to identify hi tech indoor pot plantations.
