Heat-loss detecting vehicles head to Winchester

Heat-loss detecting vehicles can detect how much heat is lost through windows without double glazingVehicles that detect how much heat is being lost from properties are visiting Winchester this month to show homeowners what improvements they should make, such as installing double glazing, to increase energy efficiency.A vehicle that detects just how much energy is lost through the windows of houses that do not have double glazing is heading to the streets of Winchester this month.

The HeatSeekers vehicles are using thermal imaging to find properties that are wasting the most heat and energy.

Keith Hewitson, director of the Energy Saving Partnership, said that the vehicle has already created "quite a buzz" and added that he was "delighted" to see it in action in the Winchester District.

"The HeatSeekers vehicle is one of the key front-line weapons in the battle against climate change and is already playing an integral role in the plans to make UK homes more energy efficient."

The cars have the ability to assess as many as 1,000 properties every hour and, once the whole area has been assessed, energy efficiency experts will come to the town and tell residents about the changes they can make to reduce energy loss, such as installing double glazing.

According to the Energy Saving Trust, installing double glazing can cut heat loss through windows by half, but it said it is a professional job and advises people not to cut corners by attempting to fit it themselves.
