Within the Cool Neighbourhoods project, heat stress is assessed using the Physiological Equivalent Temperature (PET), a thermal comfort indicator that combines meteorological conditions with spatial and environmental variables. PET-based heat stress maps provide insight into spatial differences in thermal …

Heatwaves are expected to increase in the future due to climate change. Heatwaves cause heat stress to humans and some of the effects are dehydration and hyperthermia. In general it is known what can be done to reduce heat stress. However, applying this knowledge on a local scale requires a clear overview …
