The heat overlay's model calculations depend on a number of calculation-wide parameters. These parameters are available as attributes of the heat overlay and can be modified as such.


Icon Attribute Unit Range Description Default value
DAILY_AVG_RADIATION Wm-2 / hr The average of amount of sun radiation per hour per square meter for this day, measured at a weather station. 340
DAILY_AVG_WIND_SPEED m/s The daily average wind speed measured at a weather station at the height of 10 meters above ground. 3
DAILY_TEMPERATURE_MAX °C Maximum temperature measured at a weather station. 34
DAILY_TEMPERATURE_MIN °C Minimum temperature measured at a weather station. 19
DATES time in milliseconds Dates define the amount of timeframes and are used to define the day and time for calculating sun angles. 1375444800000
EXCLUDE_BUILDINGS boolean Whether the results of buildings should be excluded from the avg sky-view and PET results. 1
EXCLUDE_WATER boolean Whether the results at the location of water should be excluded from the avg sky-view and PET results. 1
EXCLUDE_FOLIAGE_HEIGHT_M m Whether the area directly below foliage (e.g. Trees higher then this value) should be excluded in calculating the average sky view. 1.2
FOLIAGE_AREAS boolean Whether to use foliage data from Areas instead of the calculated foliage decks from functions with a foliage crown factor. 0
HOURLY_HUMIDITY percentage The relative humidity of the air at this hour, measured at a weather station. 60
HOURLY_RADIATION Wm-2 / hr The amount of Sun radiation this hour, measured at a weather station. 700
HOURLY_TEMPERATURE °C The temperature at this hour, measured at a weather station. 33
MAX_SHADOW_DISTANCE m The maximum length of a shadow. 500
SUN_ALTITUDE angle (0-90°) The sun angle up from the horizon. 49.71
SUN_AZIMUTH geo angle (0-360°) -1.7976931348623157E308 to 1.7976931348623157E308 The angle of the sun along the horizon. 140.03
SUN_DAILY_MOTION factor A factor to account for the sun moving across the sky throughout the day. 0.11
WIND_DIRECTION geo angle (0-360°) -1.7976931348623157E308 to 1.7976931348623157E308 The wind direction viewed from above, with 0° corresponding to north, and increasing in a clockwise fashion. 0
WIND_SPEED m/s The wind speed measured at a weather station at the height of 10 meters above ground. 3

Notes

  • The model relies on a number of attributes which can be measured by measure stations. For any given project, it is recommended to find data from a (reference) weather station applicable to the project area, and use those values as parameters for the Heat Module calculations.
  • When the DATES attribute is configured for multiple timeframes, the Hourly, Sun, and Wind attributes should have an equal amount of entries. When using the Heat Overlay configuration wizard, the necessary entries are created automatically.
