Problem
Existing methods for assessing building energy efficiency often rely on incomplete data and manual inspections, leading to inaccurate assessments of heat transfer and potential energy loss. This makes it difficult for AEC (Architecture, Engineering, and Construction) professionals to optimize building performance and ensure occupant comfort.
Solution
Hearth Labs provides thermal-LiDAR sensors and software that enable detailed temperature mapping of buildings. Their Q Sense system quantifies heat transfer in the built environment, providing AEC professionals with the data needed to make informed decisions about heating and cooling adjustments. By capturing millions of data points in a single scan, the system allows for precise identification of areas with energy inefficiencies, leading to improved energy efficiency and occupant comfort. The technology offers a comprehensive understanding of building thermal performance, enabling targeted interventions and optimized resource allocation.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes AEC professionals, real estate developers, and building energy auditors seeking to improve building energy efficiency and occupant comfort.
