Abstract

The building sector is responsible for a significant portion of global energy consumption and Building Energy Modelling (BEM) is a vital tool for assessing and improving building energy performance. However, large-scale BEM is hindered by inefficiencies in modelling geometry and thermal characteristics, while Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) and Infrared Thermography (IRT) might introduce innovative solutions. This paper aims to review these two emerging technologies from their historical origins to current applications. It summarises previous studies and current and future applications of integrated UAV and IRT in building inspection, diagnosis, and modelling. The main focus is on technologies, protocols and workflows for the generation of the building geometry and the assignment of thermal properties based on automated processes.
