Architects engineers and building supervisors will soon be able to quickly collect information that once took weeks to measure and process
Scientists have developed a device to gather information about building interiors
The design and exact measurements of a building
The scientists are with the university of california berkeley
Their invention connects to a backpack that can be carried on a person's back
The device requires only one pass through a building to create a three dimensional or three d model of the structure
In other words
The model shows and objects
Height with and depth
The device also is able to collect other valuable information related to the building's energy usage
An older building may need a new more efficient heating and cooling system experts say
The first thing you need to know is the exact shape of all rooms in the building
You have to consider the size and position of heating and cooling equipment
Windows and doors
Another consideration is the placement of electrical outlets
The areas
Where electrically operated equipment can be connected to the power supply
Any marston is with bowmen consulting the business that developed the new device
She says
That instead of using a team of experts with laptop computers and other devices
It will soon be possible to send only one person with a space age backpack
是的
The backpack is um something you can wear
Which has all those senses on the back
Which can then walk through a building
And uh detect the geometry
The lights
The plug load
And when you take it
It out can create a three d model
Which can show an ironimage of each of the of the walls and look at the thermal capacity of the building
And then it can be transferred into an energy model
And the energy model can be run and look at how thererst st sppersed than building
And that's what we can start looking at saving measures and things
Like that weather experts use a scientific instrument called a parometer to measure pressure in earth atmosphere
But the device uses a parometer to estimate height instruments called magneometers act as three d compasses
They gather information about metallic structures
The university of california scientists say they can create a virtual map with an accuracy of plus or minus ten centimeters
They say the vvuses ses mamathemaal problem to add surfaces to the walls and floors
This can be used for architectural design or to run test on energy usage
Any
Marston says
The device may be very useful to energy testers and engineers
But also to builders and the construction industry
When they are building a new construction
It will be great to have a model of the ducks and the pipes
Before the walls are closed up
So in later years
You know where everything is
She says
Researchers say they are now working to lower
The weight of the backpack from fifteen to about ten kilograms
But the price of the device is about twenty thousand dollars
Researchers predict the device will be available for loan at a much lower price
I'm jonathan evans words in this story
Architect now a person who designs buildings
Backpack now a container or bag for carrying things
That is carried on someone's back dimensional adgitive relating to hde length or with disperse verb to go or move in different directions to spread apart comppuass now advice to help the user identify direction
Virtual adgitive existing or ocurring on computers or on the internet
Accuracy now freedom from mistake the ability to work without making mistakes
Construction now the business of building things
The building trade
