What stands out

What we found in Quintanar de la Orden

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

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.
