/17^th March 2016, Matthew Louis Mauriello, Leyla Norooz, Jon E. Froehlich/ The building sector accounts for 41% of primary energy consumption in the US, contributing an increasing portion of the country’s carbon dioxide emissions. With recent sensor improvements and falling costs, auditors are increasingly using thermography—infrared (IR) cameras—to detect thermal defects and analyze building efficiency. Research in automated thermography has grown commensurately, aimed at reducing manual labor and improving thermal models.

/28^th April 2017, DRONE MARKET WATCH^TM/ Main stakeholder responsible for drone (UAV) flight regulation in United Arab Emirates (UAE) is the General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA). The General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA) has regulations in place for adherence to safety and privacy standards, while using drones. These include not operating drones near airports, residential, populated and restricted areas. Main aviation regulation documents affecting drone (UAV) flights in United Arab Emirates are Law № 7 on Aviation Safety from 2015, NPA 04-2015 and CAR Part III General Regulations, Chapters 8 and 10.

/21^st March 2017, DRONE MARKET WATCH^TM/ Main stakeholder responsible for drone (UAV) flight regulation in the United Kingdom is the Civil Aviation Authority. Main document affecting drone (UAV) flight regulations in UK is „CAP 722, Unmanned Aircraft System Operations in UK Airspace – Guidance“. It is intended to assist those who are involved in all aspects of the development of UAS to identify the route to certification, outline the methods by which permission for aerial work may be obtained and ensure that all requirements are met by the UAS industry.

/12^th October 2016, DRONE MARKET WATCH^TM/ Main stakeholder responsible for drone (UAV) flight regulation in Hong Kong is the Civil Aviation Department (CAD) of the Government of Hong Kong Special Administrative Region. CAD is responsible for processing applications for non-recreational operations of UAS (such as for rent or commercial purposes) within Hong Kong. With the significantly different level of sophistication of drones (UAVs) available in the market, any person intending to operate UAS, regardless of size and weight, for non-recreational purpose within Hong Kong should submit details to CAD well before the intended date of operation.

/27^th July 2016, DRONE MARKET WATCH^TM/ Main stakeholder responsible for drone (UAV) flight regulation in Switzerland is Federal Office of Civil Aviation (FOCA). Main document affecting drone (UAV) flight regulations in Switzerland is DETEC Ordinance on Special Category Aircraft (OSCA). With effect from 1 August 2014, for safety reasons drones may no longer be operated above gatherings of people (several dozen people standing in close proximity to one another) or within a radius of 100 meters from gatherings of people.

/19^th January 2016, L. E. Mavromatidis, J.-L. Dauvergne, R. Saleri, J.-C. Batsale/ Infrared (IR) thermography is a control method widely used for building diagnosis to investigate structural blemishes and thermal heat losses. Usually, collecting the thermal heat flux naturally emitted by a studied surface via an IR camera, we obtain critical information regarding its structure through passive infrared thermography. The thermogram can then reveal an abnormal variation of the heat flux and highlight a defection.

/11^th April 2016, DRONE MARKET WATCH^TM/ Main stakeholder responsible for drone (UAV) flight regulation in Sweden is Civil Aviation Department at the Swedish Transport Agency. This agency is responsible for design, manufacture, modification, maintenance and activities with civil UAS within Sweden. Main document affecting drone (UAV) flight regulations in Sweden is „The Swedish Transport Agency´s regulations on unmanned aircraft systems (UAS)“. According to these regulations drones (UAVs) in Sweden are classified into three categories, as the first category has two sub-categories.

/5^th October 2015, DRONE MARKET WATCH^TM/ The Canadian Aviation Regulations (CARs) require unmanned air vehicle (UAV) operators to apply for SFOCs, so Transport Canada can ensure operators use their UAV reliably and safely. This applies to all UAVs used for anything but the fun of flying and regardless of how much they weigh. Transport Canada inspectors will review their SFOC application and determine what safety conditions are needed to reduce the risks. Drone (UAV) operators must send a detailed application to the Transport Canada Civil Aviation office  in the region where you intend to fly your UAV. Application must include contact information and describe how, when and where drone (UAV) operators plan to use their UAV, as well as how they plan to deal with the safety risks.

/19^th May 2015, DRONE MARKET WATCH^TM/ The Department of Transportation’s Federal Aviation Administration proposed a framework of regulations (PDF) that would allow routine use of certain small unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) in today’s aviation system, while maintaining flexibility to accommodate future technological innovations. The FAA proposal offers safety rules for small UAS (under 55 pounds) conducting non-recreational operations. The rule would limit flights to daylight and visual-line-of-sight operations. It also addresses height restrictions, operator certification, optional use of a visual observer, aircraft registration and marking, and operational limits.
