Finally: summer is coming! Every ray of sunshine is still balm for the soul after the long period of cloudy winter days. But if the rising temperatures seem pleasant at first, this can quickly change – and the increasing solar radiation leads to heat stress. In cities in particular, which are characterized by a high degree of sealing and limited green spaces, the heat builds up very quickly and leads to (health) problems for citizens. What can be done about this with data? <\/span><\/b> <\/span><\/p>\n

As a result of climate change, cities are increasingly struggling with periods of intense heat and sporadic heat. Rising temperatures put a strain on people and the environment and are already a major challenge for many cities. A further increase is to be expected in the coming years. Cities and municipalities must therefore respond to the acute pressure to act. <\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

Heat monitoring can be a great support here: through targeted observation and documentation, specific points where the heat builds up in the city – so-called heat islands – can be identified. Differentiated statements on causes and, based on this, more targeted, cost-efficient measures are possible. In order to obtain the necessary knowledge about the heat spots, it is necessary to collect data. <\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

DKSR can now support local authorities with this in a simple way: With the <\/span>potential detector for sustainable municipalities<\/span><\/b> there is a new tool with which cities and municipalities can <\/span>without further technical infrastructure procurement<\/span><\/b> Use real-time data to analyze heat measures<\/span><\/b> can. By blending different data (e.g. temperature, buildings, vegetation), our team is developing a model for monitoring heat development within the respective municipality – without the need for a data platform. <\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

Precise monitoring for targeted measures<\/span><\/b> <\/span><\/p>\n

Why “potential detector”? Quite simply because it is about monitoring that identifies potential for new, more efficient measures within the respective municipal context. The municipalities themselves choose which questions – corresponding to the current municipal challenges – the monitoring should answer for them, e.g. <\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n
