Four kits containing a $1,300 infrared camera, a hygrometer and a measuring tape are available to borrow by Georgetown residents.
Residents and business owners in Georgetown, P.E.I., are being enlisted to help their town become climate-neutral.
The project is being led by UPEI working with community volunteers its researchers call "community champions," who are helping get the word out throughout the community."We will be seeing how much energy each house or each building in Georgetown is consuming," said Kuljeet Singh Grewal, an assistant professor leading the project.
But the project team aren't going it alone. So far, they said, four members of the community have stepped forward. Researchers hope is those citizens can each recruit another 15 residents in the town of less than 550 people. Community champion Therese Mair says the survey helped her find drafty areas in her Georgetown home, which was built in 1895.
The tools being used for the survey may sound high-tech, but they're surprisingly easy to learn to use, Mair and Grewal agreed. There's a tutorial video online residents can watch about how to collect the needed data."It's just clicking a photo with your phone camera," Grewal explained. "But this photo is more colourful than a camera photo, because it is thermal imaging.
