Urban Heat Vulnerability Map – A map that highlights the vulnerability of urban areas to extreme heat to help cities find the optimal location for heat mitigation strategies..
Developed in 2012 in Czechia, ECOTEN urban comfort provides a solution to Sustainable cities & communities, – in line with sustainable development goals for the future.
- 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.
