Ternat has launched a new tool to help residents improve their home's insulation. A thermal camera has captured aerial images showing where heat escapes through roofs. This information is now freely accessible at dakinzicht.fluvius.be.
The map uses color codes to indicate the insulation status of roofs: red means immediate action is needed as the roof is insufficiently or not insulated. Yellow suggests that adding insulation is beneficial because the current layer is too thin. Green indicates that the insulation performs generally well, but a check against the latest standards is recommended. Blue signifies top-notch insulation, where periodic checks are sufficient.
The map provides an indication of heat loss. Well-insulated roofs are the first step in BENOveren (Better Renovating and Making More Energy Efficient), leading to increased living comfort, a better EPC score, and higher property value. It reduces heat loss and energy consumption, benefiting both the wallet and the climate.
