Measure heat risk.Optimize resilience.Act within budget.
HeatCredit evaluates facility-level thermal vulnerability using localized weather telemetry, diagnoses multidimensional resilience deficits, and algorithmically prioritizes physical interventions under strict capital constraints.
Deterministic Scoring
Constrained Budget
Real-Time Telemetry
Architectural evidence: Porous screening and courtyard geometry attenuate peak heat without energy loads.
Heat is an environmental risk.Resilience is an investment decision.
When ambient temperatures exceed 40°C, a simple weather forecast does not describe what happens inside a metal-roof schoolroom, a crowded clinic, or an unshaded community center. Without localized thermal analysis, resilience funding is spent blindly.
1. Environmental Exposure
Solar irradiance, ambient heat index, wet-bulb thresholds, and urban heat island microclimates that drive exterior thermal pressure.
2. Building Vulnerability
Degraded roofing materials, zero ceiling insulation, low emissivity, and unshaded fenestration that transform structures into heat traps.
3. Adaptive Capacity
The presence of continuous chilled hydration, passive ventilation drafts, and emergency cool rooms that protect human health during peaks.
Roof Envelope & Solar Attenuation
Zero insulation causes rapid indoor radiant heating. Severe health hazard during peak afternoon hours.
Absorbs solar heat during midday and re-radiates heat inward through late evening, extending exposure.
High albedo reflects solar spectrum while perforated screening enables continuous convective airflow.
Look beyond the temperature.
HeatCredit uses a strictly deterministic, explainable mathematical scoring engine. Every facility is diagnosed across seven distinct physical and operational dimensions that sum to a 0–100 resilience score.
Thermal Protection
Roof & Envelope
Evaluates roof material emissivity, degradation condition, ceiling insulation, and reflective coatings to resist solar thermal transfer into occupied interiors.
Shade Coverage
Solar Interception
Quantifies structural canopies, pergolas, and architectural overhangs that shield pedestrian entrances and exterior assembly zones from direct irradiance.
Passive & Active Ventilation
Airflow Exchange
Scores natural cross-ventilation potential, operable window geometry, ceiling fans, and stack-effect drafts that dissipate trapped radiant heat.
Hydration Access
Continuous Potable Supply
Measures availability, distribution, and chiller reliability of dedicated drinking water stations to avert acute occupant dehydration during heatwaves.
Respite & Relief Space
Conditioned Refuge
Assesses dedicated, climate-controlled or fan-cooled recovery rooms where vulnerable occupants can recover from acute heat stress.
Green Infrastructure
Microclimate Cooling
Evaluates vegetative canopy, permeable grounds, and perimeter tree cover that suppress local urban heat island effects through evapotranspiration.
Occupational Exposure
Midday Solar Window
Calibrates operating hours, occupant density, and exposure intervals during peak daily solar radiation cycles (11:00 AM – 4:00 PM).
Zero Opaque Heuristics
Every weight, threshold, and classification is publicly auditable. No unverified machine learning outputs or non-deterministic hallucinations.
From environmental signals to practical decisions.
HeatCredit connects every stage of facility resilience into an unbroken, auditable workflow. Move from intake to budget-constrained implementation in minutes.

Shade Structure
Pergolas, canopies, and tensile shade sails over exposed courtyards and entry thresholds to intercept direct solar irradiance.
Reflective Roof Coating
High-albedo cool-roof elastomeric coating to reflect incident radiation and significantly reduce interior radiant accumulation.
Ventilation Improvement
High-efficiency ceiling fans, louvers, and cross-ventilation drafts to accelerate heat dissipation and convective cooling.
Drinking Water Station
Dedicated filtered potable hydration points with active chilling to prevent dehydration and hyperthermia during heat spikes.
Every rupee should have a reason.
Facility budgets are strictly constrained. HeatCredit applies the canonical 0/1 Knapsack dynamic programming algorithm to guarantee the mathematically optimal set of interventions that maximizes resilience points without exceeding capital limits.
Given a discrete capital ceiling W and interventions with cost c[i] and impact v[i], the optimizer selects subset S ⊆ I maximizing ∑ v[i] subject to ∑ c[i] ≤ W.
