General
What is the Heat Reduction indicator?
The Heat Reduction indicator on the Tygron platform is an indicator that computes the effect that urban green has on the heat reduction. The presence of green reduces the heat stress in the specified project area and cools down the surrounding environment. The more urban green space is present in the area, the stronger the heat reduction in that area will be. The indicator is a simplified version of a RIVM calculation model. This indicator is useful for projects where for example:
- reducing heat stress is an important goal in the project
- livability is measured in the project
Indicator panel
The indicator panel shows per neighborhood:
- The name of the neighborhood
- The percentage of urban green space in that neighborhood in the current situation
- The percentage of urban green space in that neighborhood in the future (planned) situation
- The temperature in that neighborhood in the current situation
- The temperature in that neighborhood in the future (planned) situation
- The average heat reduction in the entire project area
- The goal temperature
Calculation
The calculations used in this indicator are based on the RIVM calculations on urban green and health effectsCite error: Closing </ref> missing for <ref> tag
