RaThPAs
Kestrix uses AI and thermal drones to map heat loss across entire neighbourhoods, acting as fast, 3D energy surveys from the sky.
This helps stakeholders like utilities, councils and housing providers plan energy upgrades with fewer costly, time-consuming site visits. Like a “Google Maps of heat loss,” RaThPAs show where buildings are leaking heat and recommend fixes. With a team of experts in computer vision and physics, Kestrix aims to speed up home retrofits, in turn cutting emissions, saving households money, and making homes warmer and healthier at scale.
Rapid Thermal Performance Assessment algorithms (RaThPAs) is led by Kestrix.
“Being Manchester Prize finalists really affirms this idea that we’re not just building AI for the sake of AI, but we’re building AI to really make an impact. There’s only a few teams selected and tonnes & tonnes of AI innovations out there – so we’re really happy to be working on this for the right reasons.” – Lucy Lyons, Kestrix
