mmHeat: Autonomous Millimeter-Wave Robotic System for Non-Contact 3D Thermal Conductivity Mapping of Building Envelopes
An autonomous robotic inspection system that uses millimeter wave radar to generate non contact, volumetric 3D thermal conductivity maps of opaque building materials.
BACKGROUND:
Buildings lose approximately 25 to 30% of heating and cooling energy through hidden envelope defects such as moisture infiltration, insulation voids, and thermal bridges....
