ThermalAI: Retrofit Decisions from Thermal Images
AI thermal screening quantifies façade heat loss (kWh, CO₂, €). Fast, non-invasive, scalable. Make evidence-based retrofit decisions in minutes.

Why Current Thermal Assessments Fall Short
The Challenge
Buildings consume 40% of Europe's energy, largely due to poor insulation and heat loss. Current assessment methods are slow, costly, and invasive, hindering large-scale screening.
They often miss critical air leaks and thermal bridges. Long on-site inspections delay retrofits and limit public sector scalability.
Traditional Limitations
  • Qualitative observations only (no quantified outputs).
  • Time-intensive manual inspections.
  • Inconsistent measurements.
  • High cost per building.
  • Limited district-scale prioritization.
What Makes ThermalAI Different
Quantitative, Not Qualitative
Quantifies heat loss (kWh/m²/year), CO₂ emissions, and monetary costs over 1, 5, 10, and 30-year horizons. Provides actionable data, not just colour maps.
Real Operating Conditions
Captures actual performance, including air infiltrations and thermal bridges missed by lab tests. Uses indoor and outdoor temperature inputs for true building behavior.
Non-Invasive & Scalable
Drone and ground-based thermal imaging eliminates intrusive inspections. Rapidly screens entire districts for consistent, evidence-based retrofit prioritization.
How ThermalAI Works
From thermal capture to actionable report in three steps. Our computer vision analyzes façade elements pixel by pixel, aggregating to complete building assessments.
Capture Images
Collect RGB and thermal images of all building façades. Use drones for tall structures, or pole-mounted cameras for smaller buildings. Standard protocols ensure consistent data.
AI Analysis
Computer vision identifies façade elements (windows, walls, doors) and calculates heat loss. Automatically detects thermal bridges and air leakage.
Generate Report
Receive comprehensive reports with visual heat loss maps, quantified kWh/CO₂/€ metrics, and retrofit recommendations. Reports generated in minutes after imagery processing.
Actionable Reports for Key Decisions
Each Report Details:
  • Heat loss by element (kWh/year, kWh/m²/year)
  • Quantified CO₂ emissions
  • Cost projections (1, 5, 10, 30 years)
  • Visual heat loss maps
  • Retrofit priority recommendations
  • Investment payback analysis

Frequently Asked Questions
What data do you need?
Thermal and RGB images of building façades. Also, indoor and outdoor temperature readings at capture. Standard JPEG/TIFF formats. We provide capture protocols for quality.
When should images be captured?
Optimal conditions are winter months, with at least a 10°C temperature difference (interior/exterior). Morning/evening captures minimize solar interference. We provide weather and timing guidance.
How is privacy handled?
Thermal images capture no identifiable features. Personal data processing complies with GDPR. Data storage/handling protocols available. Building-level aggregation protects individual privacy.
What are typical project timelines?
Report generation takes minutes after imagery upload. Full pilot projects (capture, data, analysis) usually complete within 2-4 weeks, depending on building count and weather.
Can ThermalAI assess all building types?
Yes—residential, commercial, institutional, and industrial buildings. The system adapts to various construction types. Complex architecture may need specialized capture.
Is training or technical expertise required?
The application is for non-technical users. Image capture needs basic thermal camera operation (training provided). Analysis and reporting are automated; interpretation support is available for complex projects.
