    Haringey have taken photos of the houses to see how energy efficient they are.

    From the Times

    An aircraft, fitted with a military-style thermal imager, flew over the borough 17 times to take pictures of almost every house in the area.

    Footage of heat loss was converted into stills, then laid over a map of the area, before each house was given colour-coded ratings.

    Homes that were losing the most heat were represented as bright red on the map. The least wasteful households were shown in deep blue. Shades of paler blues and reds were used to show grades of heat loss.

    hmmmm. I am sceptical. Our house comes up as blue, and we're so badly insulated that we get a breeze through the windows.... Having lived in the flat below, I know it's not much better either.

    I'm a little yellow hotspot in a sea of pale blue. Must have had the window open that day...
