The results from calculations at the locations of constructions may be skewed or lead to incorrect assumptions of how the calculated values should be interpreted. To prevent these values from affecting further calculations, or inciting questions around interpretation, it is recommended to exclude buildings from the end-result. Also the actual DPRA Heat Module does not incorporate buildings (walls and roofs) in the calculations, as the model refers to a terrain elevation of only 1,2 meters high in the landscape and not much is known/ researched about the effect that higher (green) walls and roofs may have on the DRPA model. We expect that a future update in the DRPA model will improve in this area.
In case the user would like to still use the buildings in the calculations, switching this attribute to include them will inccorporate the buildings as part of the elevation model, and as such a Heat Stress calculation is performed also on the buildings.
