Monitorización del comportamiento térmico de fachadas mediante UAV: aplicaciones en la rehabilitación de edificios

Abstract

This paper presents the integration of data acquisition from  land and unmanned aerial vehicles (mUAV) in the visible and  thermal channels, validating the results for inspection and  detection of different pathologies on facades of real case  studies. An original methodology is proposed and tested for  rapid inspection of building envelopes, supported by geospatial  techniques. Frequent pathologies, as moisture damages and  thermal losses are analyzed in real urban facades. UAV-based  inspection allows checking inaccessible areas with visible and  thermal sensors, obtaining homogeneous global models that  can be analyzed with sufficient time and detail at the office  (postprocessing). Based on these models, objective diagnosis  can be performed even in the most complex neighborhoods  and building designs, as well as energy balance analyses and  detection of pathologies with economical and reliable means  for large areas. This technology is ready for use in building  inspection and it is very useful in the design of rehabilitation  projects for tall and complex buildings in the framework of  energy efficiency.
