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 improvements to mitigate heat such as increasing tree canopy, optimizing irrigation systems, and enhancing landscaping.

As tools for predicting heat islands become more accurate, easier to use and widespread, more cities will be able to effectively isolate and intervene in targeted to reduce the most extreme temperatures, while also undertaking blanket cooling strategies to reduce heat over large areas.
