The Heat DPRA module is a new (as of 2019) Heat Stress Module, developed to be in accordance with the new DPRA Heat stress report. With this module, stress tests can be performed according to the Dutch [[1]] guidelines. The Heat module gives insight in the perceived temperature (PET) and in how it can be influenced. The PET is determined using different elements, which can be analyzed individually. Therefore, the Heat module also provides opportinuties for shade and sun angle analyses. This clip [[2]] gives an overview.

Configuration

The Heat DPRA module can be configured using the Heat Overlay configuration wizard. Each newly added Heat Overlay uses the Heat DPRA module by default.

For more information on the configurable model attributes, see Heat Overlay model attributes.

Available Result Types

The Heat Overlay allows user to visualize a generated Physiological Equivalent Temperature (PET) overlay, along with other intermediate overlay results. The Heat Overlay wizard allows users to select which results should be generated. For further information on the available results, see Heat Overlay result types.

Theory

The formulas and calculation models are documented here. The Heat Module is benchmarked using the DPRA Heat stress report. The benchmark case is situated in Wageningen, Netherlands, on 02-08-2013. It is deemed relevant to the report because it can be related to actual measurements made for the city of Wageningen.
