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.

Attribute Unit Description
AVERAGED_LAST_RESULT boolean Whether to ignore the date-time setting for the last calculated timeframe, and show an average of the results of all preceding timeframes instead.
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.
DAILY_AVG_WIND_SPEED m/s The daily average wind speed measured at a weather station at the height of 10 meters above ground.
DAILY_TEMPERATURE_MAX °C Maximum temperature measured at a weather station.
DAILY_TEMPERATURE_MIN °C Minimum temperature measured at a weather station.
DATES timestamp Dates define the amount of timeframes and are used to define the day and time for calculating sun angles.
EXCLUDE_BUILDINGS boolean
EXCLUDE_WATER boolean
FOLIAGE_AREAS boolean
HOURLY_HUMIDITY percentage The relative humidity of the air at this hour, measured at a weather station.
HOURLY_RADIATION Wm-2 / hr The amount of Sun radiation this hour, measured at a weather station.
HOURLY_TEMPERATURE °C The temperature at this hour, measured at a weather station.
SUN_ALTITUDE ° The sun angle up from the horizon.
SUN_AZIMUTH Geo angle The angle along the horizon, with 0° corresponding to north, and increasing in a clockwise fashion
SUN_DAILY_MOTION factor A factor used in calculating the Atmospheric Temperature from the calculated Urban Heat Island value.
WIND_DIRECTION Geo angle The wind direction viewed from above, with 0° corresponding to north, and increasing in a clockwise fashion.
WIND_SPEED m/s The wind speed measured at a weather station at the height of 10 meters above ground.

Notes

  • The sun altitude and azimuth are calculated automatically based on the project world location and the date.
  • Some model attributes have to be based on a reference weather station.
