General
What is the heat risk indicator?
The heat risk indicator calculates a metric for the risk to vulnerable citizens due to heat stress. Heat stress is .. It correlates information on residents over 65 years old from the CBS, the Heatstress Overlay and the amount of newer built houses which have better isolation and therefore facilitates better heat retention. This indicator is for example useful for projects in where:
- heat stress and the effct on citizens is measured
Calculation
First the heat stress in an area is calculated. The warmer it is in an area, the more risk there is. Then the amount of 65 year and older people are counted for each Neighborhood. The more elderrly people there are, the more risk. The amount of houses after 2012 are counted as new build houses. The risk is then calculated as: risk = Percentage elderly people x the heat stress in degrees.
Score
The score is represented in a progress bar, with a scale from 0 to 100%. The score is calculated on the
Additional configurations
For this indicator to function, no extra configurations have to be done in your project. However, due to the reliance on CBS, the indicator will only function on projects located in the Netherlands.
