The Environmental Benefits

  • Our map empowers decision-makers to develop heat mitigation strategies: - The shade provided by trees can reduce our physiologically equivalent temperature by between 7 and 15°C.
  • Green infrastructures can reduce energy consumption by 8% for heating energy and up to 18% for cooling energy.
