A report on the use of thermal scanner data in an operational program for monitoring apparent rooftop temperaturesCENGAS, a division of Central Telephone and Utilities Corporation in cooperation with the Remote Sensing Institute, South Dakota State University, is using airborne thermal scanner data to monitor relative rooftop temperatures. Four Nebraska communities and one South Dakota community were surveyed by the Remote Sensing Institute for CENGAS. Thermal scanner data were converted to a film format and the resultant imagery has been successfully employed by CENGAS. The program places emphasis on heat losses resulting from inadequate home insulation, offers CENGAS customers the opportunity to observe a thermogram of their rooftop, and assists homeowners in evaluating insulation needs.
