Scientists at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, the Air Barrier Association of America and Joulea will collaborate with NMT on the project.\n\nThe research will develop new methods to identify air leakage sites on the inside and outside of a building, which can then be sealed in retrofits to significantly reduce energy consumption.  Building air leakage contributes to unnecessary energy consumption with an estimated four quads (1,172 terawatt-hour) of energy loss per year in the U.S. alone. This loss is equivalent to one quarter of all energy usage in one year in the country. Identifying and repairing leaks through the building envelope can improve the energy efficiency, comfort, air quality and moisture durability of the building stock.\n\nThe ALV system will include cameras and infrared imaging to map the interior and exterior building environments to find air leakage sites.  The ALV will include manual and drone-based platforms for quickly scanning large buildings inside and out.  The ALV Onboard image processing capability will produce real-time background-oriented schlieren (BOS) images of air flows.  \n\n\u201cBOS is a digital method to visualize the density variations in air.  It is the same as when you see \u2018road shimmer\u2019 driving down a hot road in the summer, only here we will use digital cameras to measure the background distortion and quantify the hot or cold air leaking from a building,\u201d said principal investigator Michael Hargather, Professor of Mechanical Engineering at NM Tech.  \n\nThe funding comes from DOE\u2019s BENEFIT program (Buildings Energy Efficiency Frontiers and Innovation Technologies), in which $46 million was awarded to 29 projects across 15 states to develop advanced technologies and retrofitting that will facilitate efficient, affordable, sustainable and resilient building operation. \n\nThis project was chosen through a competitive selection process that rigorously evaluated applications on their technical merit. \n\nImage and cutline to accompany release:\nImage 1: Road shimmer on a hot day produces \u201cthermal plumes\u201d which distort the appearance of the horizon. In the same way, air leakage can be detected in buildings with sophisticated equipment and methods. In this image, two images of a candle, (a) before it is lit and (b) after it is lit, are compared via image processing and results in (c), which is a background-oriented schlieren (BOS) image of the candle plume. \n\nAbout New Mexico Tech\nNew Mexico Tech, also known as New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology, is a STEM-focused university in centrally located Socorro, New Mexico.
