What stands out

What we found in Foz-Calanda

It comes from matching each building with its neighbourhood, its street, the nearest watercourse and its surroundings.

1

From 10 to 44 tropical nights a year

10→44 nights

In a typical building in Foz-Calanda, nights when the temperature stays at or above 20 °C would rise from 10 a year (1991-2020) to about 44 by 2050. For this reason, 98 % of homes would be at a high or very high level.

Median of the buildings. Intermediate-to-high emissions scenario (SSP3-7.0).

Where there are fewer trees, 2,6 °C hotter

2,6 °C

Around homes with less than 2 % tree cover, the surface in summer is 1,1 °C above the median for Foz-Calanda; with between 10 and 20 % tree cover, 1,5 °C below. 38 homes are in surroundings with almost no trees.

Ground surface temperature (Landsat), not air temperature. More trees usually go with less asphalt and lower density: this is a correlation, not a measure of the effect of planting trees.

69 in every 100 buildings were built before 1980

69 %

They were built before the first thermal insulation standard (1979). With 44 tropical nights a year by 2050, they will hold the most heat at night and have the most to gain from a retrofit.

What can be done

For the town council and for residents

For the town council and its technical staff

  • Climate shelters, and late-afternoon and evening opening hours at libraries and community centres in the areas with the most tropical nights.
  • Download the tables by area, neighbourhood, street and watercourse (Data tab) to cross-check them with urban planning.

For residents

  • Air your home in the early hours, shade west-facing walls from the sun and ask about grants to insulate the roof.
  • Look up your building: the free report gives its level for each hazard, and the Climate Note gives the full detail.
