ABSTRACT
Article discusses the subject of energy efficiency in the construction and building sector and the use of unmanned aerial vehicles in order to study energy consumption in buildings. At the beginning, the concept of energy efficiency in buildings is presented, its importance and impact on the environment. The next section explores the effects of buildings on the environment, in particular, through heat loss. The article also outlines the importance of research methods and thermal imaging. Specifically developed unmanned aircraft classification is adapted for the use in thermal studies. The topic is discussed in terms of both the characteristics and structure, as well as the advantages and disadvantages of the use of such solutions
