Phase 02 — With intervention
What can we change?
Adjust urban tree cover and reflective roofing. See the direct impact on temperature, deaths, and economic loss. Formulas match the full engine exactly.
Urban tree cover

Cool / reflective roofs
Santamouris (2015) · 0.8°C per 100%
Total cooling

mortality reduction
At +15% tree cover and +40% cool roofs, 452 fewer people die from heat in Paris every year by 2050. This uses the same calculation as the full engine — Gasparrini (2017) mortality model scaled by heatwave reduction.
Formula: Deaths = Base x hwRatio x (1 - cooling x 0.08) where cooling = (canopy/100)x1.2 + (albedo/100)x0.8, hwRatio = effectiveHW / baseHW. Source: Bowler (2010) · Santamouris (2015) · Gasparrini (2017). Plus or minus 15% confidence interval applies.
