Drone-based Cooling Leakage Measurement from Glass Front Towers

Abstract

Drones are increasingly gaining more attention these days and they are employed in several applications. At the same time, the steps towards saving energy and improving the efficiency of the buildings are significantly increasing as well. This poster introduces an overall design for a system that will be loaded on a quadcopter to measure the cooling leakage from high-rise buildings in Qatar to meet 2030 vision in environmental development. The proposed design is achieved by using a chip thermal camera to detect the cooling leakage locations. Also, the drone will need proximity sensors, specifically, Lidar sensor to prevent it from any collision that can happen with the towers. Moreover, a mobile application is built to monitor the tested buildings and the position of the drone.
