Bay of Plenty Regional Council, NZ tackles air quality issues with infrared enforcement cameras

Bay of Plenty Regional Council, NZ Infrared Enforcement

Complete

Residential use of older wood-burning furnaces contributes to air pollutant increases each winter. Enforcement officers monitor thermal imagery from infrared cameras for signs of non-compliance with environmental regulations. The cameras only record footage of chimneys and vents on home exteriors, ensuring the privacy of Rotura residents. The new technology continues a 15-year council effort to promote dry wood use in well-maintained furnaces and heating alternatives like pellet stoves.
