Essess is a Boston company that plans to drive by your home in the middle of the night and create an image that looks like this.
The footage was captured by an infrared thermal camera mounted on a Toyota RAV4, and the resulting picture has been tweaked into what Essess employee Navi Singh calls “campfire colors.” The blues and purples are the cool spots, suggesting that the insulation is adequate. What ought to worry you are the parts that are yellow and orange — that’s where heat (and money) are escaping.
Yesterday I did a post for Forbes about how the company’s business model could help make homes more energy efficient, and what Essess plans to do with that eye-catching picture of your house. Read the whole post here.
