Explore performing actions and future scenario's

1. Now let's perform an action to change the current situation so you can see what the future situation would look like if you make some adjustments to the area to improve the heat stress in the project area. For this action we zoom in on a part of the map just below the middle of the map in the old city centre. This is an area which gets very hot so let's improve this part of the town. On the picture below you can see wher this is located on the map.
2. Switch back to the default map and select the FUTURE DESIGN tab. Notice the action menu bar appeared on the left side of the map. Make sure you see the square with the church in your project area.
3. On the square around the church no trees are present yet. Trees have a very positive effect on the heat stress so let's plant some trees. Before you can add some new trees on the square you need to demolish (a part of) the square. Select the demolish action in the action menu bar on the left side of your 3D world. Notice the polygonpick drawing tool is selected and click on the square around the church to selct this polygon. To start demiloshing this part select confirm and the demolishing starts. This take some time because you start to change the present situation so all calculation models are re-calculated.
4. Now it is possible to plant some trees on the open land. Select the public green action in the action menu bar. Notice the drawing tool is selected on the grid selection tool. Place your mouse in the 3D world and hold down your left mouse button as you drag your mouse over the part of the map you want to select to plant new trees. All green parts will be filled with new trees. All red parts will be skipped in planting new trees, so no need to have a selection with only green gridcells. In the legend below an indictaion is given why some parts on the map are red. To start build the trees, confirm your selection by selecting the Build button.
5. Select the PE Temperature overlay again and start the time frames by clicking the play button. Notice the difference in the heat stress results in this future situation in comparison with the current situation. To make a good comparison select the fourth timeframe by clicking the minus button next to the play button after the time frames are finished playing.
6. Now select the original setting in the top bar in the display section. In the overlay you see the current situation in comparison where it was very hot and in the planned situation, the other option in the display selction you see the result after your planting trees action.
7. Repeat to make the comparison for other overlays in the Heat Stress module.
8. Let's go back to the Green indicator in the topbar. Notice the target is improved now beacuse of the action you have preformed in this future scenario. The target is changed from 68 m2 to 72 m2 (or more).
9. As final action activate the measure in the Tower action menu. When you open this action menu option, you automatically are directec to a specific place in the project area. Here a new plan is already designed. By selecting Apply and Confirm, you can activate this plan and all results are beeing calculated and vizualized.
10. To compare the before and after situation it is also possible to activate the Difference overlay. Please open the Pe Temperature overlays and select the Difference overlay option. Notice the impact this tower and parkinglot has on the environment.
