Safer Greener Buildings Building Image Recognition Tool

The algorithm has been designed to ascertain an accurate estimate of building height and an understanding of the external wall system materials used on residential buildings to support in policy engagement for potential schemes offered by the department.

As use of the algorithm will not disadvantage anyone, appeals are not relevant in this case. If building owners are unhappy about being contacted they will be able to follow our delivery partner complaints processes. If the source of the complaint is attributable to the algorithm then this would feed back to MHCLG who would review the complaint and take action if required.
