A map that shows how vulnerable cities are to extreme heat.
The Urban Heat Vulnerability Map processes 3 times more data sets and is delivered 4 times faster than the traditional method. This lets cities find the areas that are most likely to be affected by extreme heat events and make sure that heat mitigation strategies have the biggest impact possible.
Positive facts about Urban Heat Vulnerability Map
Our map empowers decision-makers to develop heat mitigation strategies: – The shade provided by trees can reduce our physiologically equivalent temperature by between 7 and 15°C.
Green infrastructures can reduce energy consumption by 8% for heating energy and up to 18% for cooling energy.
Besides having a direct impact on energy consumption, the solution will prevent tremendous costs incurred by society occurring during heat waves
