Heat Module overview

The calculation of the Heat Stress Overlays takes into account:

• Meteorological circumstances such as:
  • Sun angles, altitude and azimuth, dependent on date and time of day and project location.
  • air temperatures, (hourly, daily minimum and maximum);
  • global radiation
  • relative humidity
  • wind speeds, measured and calculated by translation.
• Spatial situation, such as:
  • Land use, for fraction vegetation and rate of evaporation (Bowen ratio).
  • Terrain, foliage and building heights
