Client Challenge

Municipalities face complex operational pressures as heat intensifies in cities. Urban resilience teams must determine where to invest limited cooling budgets, justify interventions to regulators, and manage rising public concern about thermal comfort and air quality. Infrastructure departments struggle with inconsistent data across agencies, making it difficult to align climate adaptation projects with zoning and community planning. Additionally, the lack of street-level visibility into temperature and surface materials leads to reactive decision-making and inefficient resource allocation.

FortyGuard's Solution

FortyGuard’s Temperature API (starting at $79/month), part of our detailed heat analytics platform, delivers continuous, hyperlocal environmental intelligence measured at 2 meters above the ground with 10 m² spatial resolution. Municipal teams can integrate this data directly into GIS workflows to detect micro-heat islands, evaluate the impact of new green spaces, and monitor cooling progress over time. Advisory support ensures alignment with existing urban policy frameworks and climate funding criteria.
