Heat View
Heat is one of the fastest-growing climate hazards affecting assets, communities and infrastructure.
Property-level heat hazard intelligence that identifies locations susceptible to extreme heat under current and future climate conditions.
What HeatView Delivers
HeatView measures the conditions that drive heat accumulation, not simply recorded temperature.
Property-Level Heat Intelligence
Identify locations susceptible to elevated heat stress at a scale aligned to real-world assets.
Nationally Consistent Screening
Compare heat hazard across portfolios, regions and communities using a common framework.
Future Climate Scenarios
Understand how heat hazard may change under future climate conditions.
Transparent Heat Scores
Clear and explainable classifications designed for governance and decision-making.
UK-Wide Coverage
Consistent heat intelligence across the entire United Kingdom.
Enterprise-Ready Delivery
Available through GIS layers, APIs and data services.
Science-Led Heat Modelling
HeatView combines Earth Observation, land cover, vegetation, surface characteristics and climate projections to model how the built and natural environment influences heat retention and heat stress. Unlike broad regional temperature datasets, HeatView captures local environmental differences that drive real-world heat conditions.
Model Characteristics
Hazard-Focused Output
Measures heat hazard without assumptions regarding vulnerability, occupancy or financial loss.
Native modelling approach
Built from observed environmental conditions and climate projections rather than broad regional averages.
Transparent and Auditable
Explainable methodologies suitable for governance, validation and regulatory reporting.
Sector Applications
Financial Services & Insurance
Support portfolio screening, ECL assessment, climate stress testing and underwriting while aligning with PRA SS5/25 expectations.
Housing Associations & Social Landlords
Identify heat-prone housing stock and prioritise retrofit, cooling and resilience investment.
Conveyancing & Property Risk
Support climate disclosures, due diligence and property risk reporting.
Local Authorities & Urban Planners
Target heat mitigation measures and support climate adaptation planning across communities.
How It Works
HeatView integrates Earth Observation, land cover, vegetation cover, surface characteristics and climate projections to model the environmental factors that influence heat retention and heat stress.
Outputs provide a consistent measure of relative heat hazard, enabling screening, comparison and decision-making across assets, portfolios and regions.
