Methodology
| Name | Category | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Drought | Climate Change | This dataset provides insight on the relative susceptibility to drought for your property’s location. With increasing temperatures and decreasing rainfall projected into the future, it is expected that areas of low susceptibility are expected to remain at the same level of susceptibility in the future, while areas of high susceptibility are expected to remain high in the future. |
| Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) | Climate Change | An EPC certificate shows the energy rating of the property (A to G), the environmental impact as carbon dioxide emissions per year, and the potential energy rating of the property. Indicative costs associated with making the necessary energy efficiency improvements are also highlighted. |
| Heat Stress | Climate Change | This dataset provides insight on the relative land surface temperature of the area your property is situated, and thus the property’s susceptibility to heat stress. Since the data is historic and provides an overview of susceptibility, it is assumed that areas that are cooler today are likely to remain relatively cooler in the future as average temperatures rise due to climate change. Similarly, areas that are consistently hotter today are likely to become even hotter in the future. |
| Wildfire | Climate Change | This dataset provides insight on the relative susceptibility to wildfire for your property’s location. With increasing temperatures and decreasing rainfall projected into the future, it is expected that areas of low susceptibility are expected to remain at the same level of susceptibility in the future, while areas of high susceptibility are expected to remain high in the future. |
| Coastal Erosion Susceptibility | Climate Change | This dataset provides information on the coastal erosion susceptibility of both the low lying deposits and the vertical cliff layers which are nearest the property. Coastal erosion risk is influenced by various factors, such as cliff formations, which are not fully captured in these susceptibility classifications. Additionally, increasing storm surges, waves, and sea levels are predicted to exacerbate future erosion. It is important to consider this susceptibility rating alongside the predicted coastal erosion extents. |
