Abstract
Embodiments of the present disclosure provide unmanned aerial vehicle-based measurement techniques for building envelope surfaces One such method comprises acquiring, by an unmanned aerial vehicle, an air velocity measurement at an external surface of the high-rise building at a point on the external surface; acquiring, by the unmanned aerial vehicle, an external temperature at the external surface of the high-rise building at the point on the external surface; acquiring, by an infrared camera sensor of the unmanned aerial vehicle, IR measurements at the external surface of the high-rise building at the point on the external surface; and transferring, by the unmanned aerial vehicle, the IR measurements and the external air velocity and temperature measurements to a remote base station, wherein a current thermal performance of the external surface of the high-rise building is determined using the external air velocity, temperature, and IR measurements.
