The calculation of the Heat Stress Overlays takes into account:

Meteorological circumstances such as:
- Sun angles, altitude and azimuth. Depend on the project location, date and time.
- 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

-The purpose of this page is to provide an overview of the components of the Heat Stress Module. It can serve as a basis to further explore the details of the available components, the models and formula's behind these components and configurable parameters of these components.
