Exclude foliage height m (Heat Stress Overlay)

Icon	Attribute	Unit	Range	Description	Default value
	EXCLUDE_FOLIAGE_HEIGHT_M	m		The height threshold above which foliage (e.g. trees) will have the area directly below them excluded from the average sky view calculation.	1.2

The DPRA Heat stress report indicates on page 31 that the area directly below trees and bushes should be excluded from the average Sky View calculation used for the Urban Heat Island (UHI) effect. However, result images on page 101 show it remains included in the PET, where the sky view is assumed zero.
