Heat risk (Indicator)
General
What is the heat risk indicator?
The heat risk indicator calculates a metric for the risk to vulnerable citizens due to heat stress. It correlates information on residents over 65 years old from theCBS, the Heatstress Overlay and the amount of newer built houses which have better isolation and therefore facilitates better heat retention. This indicator is for example useful for projects in where:
- heat stress and the effct on citizens is measured
Calculation
Hittestress in een gebied (meer is groter risoco) Geschatte aantal 65+ers in het gebied (meer is groter risico) Aantal woningen van na 2012 (nieuwer is groter risico) Risico = Percentage aan kwetsbare ouderen x hittestress in graden
Score
The score is represented in a progress bar, with a scale from 0 to 100%. The score is calculated
Additional configurations
For this indicator to function, no extra configurations have to be done in your project. However, due to the reliance on CBS data, the indicator will only function on dutch projects.
