CONTENTS
Heat stress refers to periods of dangerously high temperatures that can disrupt operations, threaten health and safety, and strain infrastructure.
Example in context
An infrastructure owner reviewing building resilience in southern Spain sees rising maximum temperatures and more frequent heatwaves projected over the next 30 years. Using EarthScan’s heat stress signal, they assess potential operational impacts and explore adaptation measures like cooling systems or shift scheduling.
Why it matters
Heat stress is a growing climate hazard, especially in southern and urban regions. It can affect labour productivity, building performance, and long-term asset value. It is increasingly relevant for CSRD and TCFD reporting.
