Hot map
The UK has a new energy spy technology called hot mapping http://hotmapping.co.uk/. This allows an individual to look at their neighborhood and identify houses an being heat wasters or heat savers. This could spark a new revolution of “Keeping up with the Jones’s”.
Personally, i don’t have a problem with this type of invasion of privacy. I would want to be able to see how my home stacks up compared to my neighbors. And if I am doing a bad job…Shame on me! I should weatherstrip some more!
Here is a blog that has sparked a discussion on this hot mapping matter: http://blogs.business2.com/futureboy/2007/05/for_energy_wast.html
