This award is funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-5).The Colorado College Building Energy Audit and Retrofit Program will acquire two infrared cameras to increase the quality of energy audits, assess the validity of computer model simulations, monitor the impact of follow-up retrofit work and increase the educational components of the Program. The cameras will provide pictures of heat flow in and out of a building to guide the audit process and facilitate communication of results to interested parties. Infrared images taken after the completion of proposed retrofit work will provide valuable information on quality of retrofits and help to validate the computer model predictions.The infrared cameras will support the community outreach of the Program by allowing for fast identification of inefficient buildings and entire neighborhoods in need of energy retrofits. Most of the target neighborhoods are low-income areas and in need of assistance to reduce utility bills and increase comfort levels within buildings. The infrared cameras will also improve knowledge of actual reduction of green house gas emissions that will help the Colorado Springs Utilities strengthen their Demand-Side Management Program for monitoring emissions reductions. Finally, the infrared cameras will allow for a stronger educational component on the properties of heat and infrared radiation for students involved in the audit and retrofit project and provide more data to incorporate into the analysis process.

该奖项是根据2009年的《美国回收与再投资法》（公法111-5）资助的。科罗拉多大学建筑建筑能源审计和改造计划将获取两台红外摄像机以提高能源审核的质量，评估计算机模型模拟的有效性，监控后续改造工作的影响并增加计划的教育组成部分。这些摄像机将提供进出建筑物的热量的图片，以指导审计过程，并促进与有关方面的结果交流。拟议的改造工作完成后拍摄的红外图像将提供有关改装质量的宝贵信息，并有助于验证计算机模型预测。红外摄像机将通过快速识别低效的建筑物和整个需要能源改造的社区来支持该计划的社区宣传。大多数目标社区是低收入区域，需要援助来减少公用事业账单并增加建筑物内的舒适度。红外摄像机还将提高人们对温室气体排放的实际减少知识，这将有助于科罗拉多斯普林斯公用事业公司加强其需求侧管理计划，以监测减少排放。最后，红外摄像机将为参与审计和改造项目的学生提供有关热和红外辐射的特性的更强大的教育组成部分，并提供更多数据以纳入分析过程。
