EcoRank is an urban heat island (UHI) contribution assessment tool for Dynamo for architects, urban planners, and designers that analyzes heat absorption, thermal mass, shading from trees, and street orientation to calculate a UHI contribution score for a given building design. The resulting score, scaled from 1 to 10, allows easy comparison and prioritization of designs that minimize heat accumulation and contribute positively to urban climate resilience. Download this tool to enhance your sustainable design workflow and make informed decisions to mitigate the UHI effect in your projects.
