Result types (Heat Overlay)

The Heat Module of a Heat Overlay performs complex calculations and can generate multiple types of results per timeframe. A timeframe in the Heat Overlay correspond to a date and time for which a result will be calculated. This date and time will be relative to the project's time zone.

List of Result Types

Icon	Result type	Unit	Display mode	Description
	BOWEN_RATIO		Date
	FOLIAGE	m	Start
	PET	°C	Date	The calculated physiological equivalent temperature.
	PET_RELATIVE	°C	Date	The calculated PET temperature subtracted by the calculated atmospheric temperature
	SHADE		Date	Indicates whether a cell is in the shade or not based on sun ray calculations.
	SKY_VIEW		Start
	SKY_VIEW_AVG		Date
	TEMPERATURE_ATMOSPHERE	°C	Date	The calculated atmospheric temperature, based on the UHI, sun motion factor and the measured temperature.
	UHI		Date	The calculated urban heat island effect.
	VEGETATION		Date	The fraction of vegetation per square meter.
	VEGETATION_AVG		Date	The calculated average vegetation based on the cells' individual vegetation fraction.
	WIND_SPEED	m/s	Date	The wind speed calculated for the height of 1.2 meters above ground.

Result types can differ in the kind of data they display, the layer (surface or underground) of which they display that information, and how that data is recorded. Different result types can monitor data in the following ways:

• Start: The data is determined at the start of the simulation, and does not change afterwards.
• Date: The data is dependent on the timestep, which corresponds to a date and time. In case the Average timeframe option is selected, the last timeframe will present the average values of all previous timesteps for that particular Result Type.
