Our Solution

From images to insights and engagement in 4 simple steps.

STEP 1

Scan

Working with one of our trusted drone service providers, we capture visible and thermal imagery of your stock, street-by-street.

STEP 2

Plan

Kestrix analyses raw image data to assess heat loss and devise a retrofit plan for each home – unlocking rapid prioritisation and triaging.

Verification Complete

Est. Energy Savings

£1,425/yr

Est. CO2 Reduction
2.1 tonnes

Thermal scan confirms no heat leakage in new loft insulation.

STEP 3

Verify

Re-scan homes after retrofits are completed to empirically verify outcomes (est. bill savings & CO2 reductions) and assess install quality.

STEP 4

Engage

3D models may be made accessible to residents via secure dashboards, communicating personalised retrofit plans.

Why us?

Empirical data. Delivered at scale.

Go beyond the guesswork of modelled data and build confidence in your retrofit plans. Kestrix digitises the invisible, turning images into rich asset data you can act on.

No need to enter homes means lower cost, plus less disruption and disappointment for residents.

Completely non-invasive

Get real asset insights faster than ever with processing capacity of hundreds of buildings per week.

Extremely fast

Supported by Innovate UK and DESNZ, and partaking in the International Energy Agency (IEA)’s Annex 94, Kestrix’s patent-pending algorithmic approaches are grounded in real physics.
