Buckingham Palance, London Thermal Imaging Survey  Imaged Copyright Greenwire/Epogee - not to be used without permission
Epogee recently joined forces with Greenwire to survey a number of public buildings in London for heatloss, using our thermal imaging camera. Buckingham Palace faired poorly in the survey, perhaps not surprising, given its vintage, however a number of quite modern government buildings performed very badly too - Portcullis House being surprisingly bad for such a modern building.
The report was published in most of the major newspapers. Here are a few examples:
