Napier team seeks remedy for off-colour properties
The Scotsman
Scientists using thermal imaging equipment have been drafted in to help turn Edinburgh's famous tenements into green, energy efficient buildings.
The Edinburgh Napier University team is using the hi-tech imaging cameras to detect the amount of heat escaping from the traditional properties.
The idea is to carry out a series of tests to identify problem areas in a bid to come up with energy-efficient solutions for the historic buildings, which have high ceilings and are difficult to heat.
