Bluesky Maps Heat Loss from Homes for UK Councils

COALVILLE, England, February 22, 2011 - Aerial mapping company Bluesky has been awarded a number of contracts by
UK Local Authorities to map heat loss from properties using new thermal
imaging technology. The resulting thermal maps provide Councils and other
organisations with intelligence with which to address fuel poverty, reduce
carbon emissions and improve energy efficiency. Thermal imagery has even been
used by the Police to identify properties used as cannabis factories.

The latest night time surveys will extend over nearly 2,000 square
kilometres of urban Britain and will be undertaken using Bluesky's state of
the art thermal survey system. Specially designed for airborne surveying the
Bluesky system offers unparalleled accuracy and precision and is the first of
its kind in use in the UK.

The areas being surveyed by Bluesky include Leeds, North Lincolnshire,
East Lindsey, Bassetlaw and Breckland. The thermal maps will be supplied
ready for use in the Councils' Geographical Information Systems (GIS) and web
mapping services.

The latest thermal surveys to be undertaken by Bluesky will be captured
using a new 'microbolometer' thermal camera; a system specifically designed
for airborne surveying and ideal for use in aircraft flying at night.
Combined with an advanced navigation and positioning system and improved
sensor control and user interface Bluesky's new generation thermal mapping
system allows measurements of heat loss from property roofs to be recorded
with higher precision and more consistent results than systems used in the
past.

Kerri Ellis, Sustainability Officer at Bassetlaw District Council, which
has recently commissioned a thermal survey from Bluesky, commented, "The
Bluesky thermal data will help us accurately identify individual properties
at risk of fuel poverty and enable us to proactively target households for
tailored advice and signposting."

Bluesky has already completed more than 5,100 square kilometres of
thermal surveys over the last few years for organisations including
Birmingham, Hastings, Leicester and Peterborough Councils. Calderdale and
Luton are two of Bluesky's clients that have decided to publish their thermal
maps online giving visitors to the Councils' websites an instant snapshot of
how much heat is escaping through their roof.
