Analysis Add-Ons

How does heat relate to historical development patterns, canopy cover, population demographics and health outcomes? Who has more and less access to cooling shelters and resources? Where are the areas that most need intervention for heat, and how can potential cooling scenarios be explored? CAPA’s analytical team is able to address these questions and many more with its expertise in heat-related spatial data and analysis

Offered in several tailored tiers of service.

Basic Analysis

Examine essential questions for understanding your Heat Watch results and determining heat exposure across your region. Compare heat by time of day, physical and social variables, and generate new, high-resolution datasets that can be used across a range of heat planning applications.

Analysis summaries and graphs are easily integrated into your Heat Watch report with actionable recommendations and next-steps. Web-mapping and data maintenance plans are available to ensure data are timely and accessible.

Advanced Analysis

Further your analysis by combining heat-related data into weighted indices, such as a Heat Vulnerability Index or Neighborhood Tree Score, and integrate these maps with new and existing planning initiatives (such as a Heat Action Plan or Tree Management Plan).

These products are generated into web-map platforms as well as reports with supporting methodologies and recommendations. Keep your indices up-to-date with ongoing data maintenance plans.

Continuous Technical Advisory

Set your monthly analysis budget and continue working with CAPA as technical support for ongoing heat action planning activities like monitoring and evaluation.
