Retrofitting the worst offenders offers a quick and cost-effective way to improve energy efficiency and reduce carbon footprint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Read more - <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/thebusinessmagazine.co.uk\/technology-innovation\/surrey-research-park-to-host-canine-chemotherapy-trials\/\">Surrey Research Park to host canine chemotherapy trials<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Data from Satellite Vu will allow businesses to pinpoint key areas of heat loss and guide them as to where investments into retrofitting will make the largest difference. For now, the firm is working with institutions like Surrey Research Park to hone its insights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The on-site trial will take the form of a five-stage programme of activities, comprising an aerial thermal imaging campaign, data processing, thermal analysis, energy consumption modelling, and interactive real-time data presentation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Anthony Baker, Founder and CEO of Satellite Vu, said: \u201cAs governments and businesses model the road to Net Zero, satellite technology will be a critical asset due to its scalability and the comparability of the data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSatellite data already contributes to 50% of all climate change metrics, and we are hoping our infrared data set will be game changing in monitoring how human infrastructure is affected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOur project with Surrey Research Park represents a scalable solution; opening opportunities at every UK campus or innovation park, and providing a blueprint for housing associations and portfolio owners. We\u2019re extremely pleased to partner with Surrey Research Park who are supporting us to pioneer this thermal solution.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Read more - <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/thebusinessmagazine.co.uk\/technology-innovation\/surrey-satellite-technology-expands-contract-for-lunar-communications-services\/\">Surrey Satellite Technology expands contract for lunar communications services<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Space and climate tech firm Satellite Vu is set to test out its thermal imaging technology at Surrey Research Park, [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":62,"featured_media":254701,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[10,11],"tags":[36156,36544,60,35907,35060,35908],"taxonomy":[37432],"listing_catagory":[],"acf":[],"category_names":["Property &amp; Construction","Technology &amp; Innovation"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/thebusinessmagazine.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/254700"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/thebusinessmagazine.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/thebusinessmagazine.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thebusinessmagazine.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/62"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thebusinessmagazine.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=254700"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/thebusinessmagazine.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/254700\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thebusinessmagazine.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/254701"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/thebusinessmagazine.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=254700"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thebusinessmagazine.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=254700"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thebusinessmagazine.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=254700"},{"taxonomy":"taxonomy","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thebusinessmagazine.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/taxonomy?post=254700"},{"taxonomy":"listing_catagory","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thebusinessmagazine.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/listing_catagory?post=254700"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
