Heat mitigation recommendations

Like other tools for modeling urban heat islands, FortyGuard's SaaS platform helps users visualize specific areas where temperatures are rising the most and understand the reasons behind it. However, the tool goes a step further by suggesting site-specific improvements to mitigate heat, including increasing tree canopy coverage in areas with high sun exposure, optimizing irrigation systems based on local soil conditions, and enhancing landscaping with climate-appropriate vegetation.

As heat island modeling tools become more sophisticated and accessible, cities can better target interventions in high-risk areas while implementing broader cooling strategies across urban spaces. This dual approach allows for both precise problem-solving and comprehensive heat reduction.
