One property and a decision that can still change.
- Authorised site boundary and permitted use
- Accountable owner, deadline and options still open
- Available drawings, asset data and known constraints
Site heat evidence review · First design-partner stage
Decide what to investigate before options are fixed.
For commercial property teams facing a capital, refurbishment or resilience decision, we organise surface heat, vegetation, urban form, authorised asset data and visible evidence gaps around one live question.
The result is a versioned record showing what can advance, what should wait and why. Synthetic rehearsal only. No customer site, paid case or measured outcome is claimed.

Site heat evidence review
Reduce uncertainty before committing capital.
The review is for a commercial property owner, estate or regeneration team while options can still change, before specialist studies or design commitments are fixed.
The decisionWhich heat-adaptation options can advance, which should wait, and what evidence is required next?
A record ready for challenge and specialist handover.
- Site heat, vegetation and urban-form context where evidence gates pass
- Option, dependency, uncertainty and missing-evidence register
- Clear next investigations, review status and prohibited uses
Capital planning, refurbishment, concept design and adaptation-investment gates.
Whether added Earth observation evidence changes the option, priority or next investigation.
Advance, defer or stop. A well-evidenced non-change remains a finding.
Synthetic technical rehearsal. The first authorised property review has not yet run.

Move through the five states of a future review. The light architectural model establishes the property first; evidence and uncertainty appear only when their authority is clear.

CityJSON identifies the sample buildings; the glTF mesh visualises form and landscape without claiming surveyed geometry.

Earth observation added
Show spatial support before interpretation.
The cells show illustrative support geometry. A real review would expose acquisition, cloud, shadow, saturation and uncertainty checks before any property reading.
- Candidate source
- Landsat 8 and 9 Collection 2 Level-2 surface temperature (TIRS band 10), USGS
- Candidate context
- Sentinel-2 L2A optical, 10 m, Copernicus
- Spatial support
- 100 m native · 30 m resampled delivery
- Quality band
- ST_QA and QA_PIXEL screened before any reading
Land-surface temperature is not air temperature, indoor overheating or human thermal comfort.
Option screening
Use evidence to choose the next investigation.
The same decision is recorded with and without the approved evidence pack. Any change in option, priority, confidence or next investigation is preserved.
Outside current authority: validated simulation, cooling magnitude, avoided loss, premium change and recommendation.
Controlled release
Release a record that can be challenged.
Sources, rights, methods, spatial support, uncertainty and reviewer dispositions remain attached to the decision.

Plain English for the terms used above
The patch of ground a single measured value actually covers. At 100 m support one reading describes a 100 m square, not a point, so it cannot resolve one courtyard or one roof.
The checks a dataset must clear before it may enter the record: acquisition quality, cloud, shadow, saturation and usage rights. Context is drawn only where those checks pass.
An open file format for 3D city models. LoD1, level of detail 1, is its plainest form: each building is a flat-topped block with a height, carrying no roof shape or facade detail.
One file holding all the map tiles for an area. The map draws from that single archive, so there is no tile server behind it and nothing is requested from a third party.
Observed is not inferred.
Supplied is not assumed.
Simulated is not realised.
Missing is not zero.
Released is not decided.
Four-stage programme
From live question to reviewed handover.
Each stage has an accountable owner and a stop condition. Unsuitable data or missing authority reduces scope.
- 01
Authorise
Fix the site, decision, owner, deadline, permitted use and professional review route.
- 02
Observe
Build the reproducible baseline, expose spatial support and complete acquisition-level quality checks.
- 03
Compare
Repeat the same task with the approved evidence pack and preserve change or non-change.
- 04
Release
Issue the decision record, uncertainty register, reviewer disposition and next-evidence plan.
Authority boundary
Useful evidence stays inside its limits.
Urban Ecotopia prepares the spatial record. Client-appointed specialists determine fitness for use. Financial and insurance decisions remain with the authorised model owner.
Prepare the record
Decision contract, sources, rights, spatial support, uncertainty, missingness and versioned handover.
Accept or reject fitness
Building, landscape, engineering and Earth observation interpretation, option feasibility and monitoring.
Retain institutional authority
Compliance, valuation, vulnerability, loss, premium, cover, credit and underwriting decisions.
The practice
Environmental science translated into usable spatial evidence.
Urban Ecotopia was founded by Gerardo Ezequiel Martin Carreno, an environmental scientist turned spatial data scientist and full-stack engineer based in London.
Surface heat, vegetation and urban form.
Geometry, provenance, permissions and missingness.
Reviewable interfaces and controlled professional handovers.
Property-fit conversation
Is there still time for evidence to change the decision?
Send the property type, project stage, decision date and options still open. We will first assess whether the site, timing and available evidence make a bounded review useful.

If you send an enquiry by email we hold that email and its contents in order to reply and, where a review follows, to carry it out.

Accessibility statement
This site aims to meet WCAG 2.2 level AA. That is a target, not a certified conformance claim: it has been tested by its author and has not been independently audited.
Every control is operable by keyboard and shows a visible focus outline. Text meets the 4.5:1 contrast minimum, and nothing on the page is set below eleven pixels. Headings follow a single unbroken order and the page carries a skip link.
Motion is an enhancement only. If your system asks for reduced motion, all reveal animation and camera movement is suppressed and the page renders in its final state. Content is never hidden waiting for a script: if scripting is unavailable, the whole page is shown.
The interactive 3D evidence model is a visual enhancement. It falls back to a static plate when WebGL, the model or the map data is unavailable, and the same information is carried in text alongside it. Selecting an individual building in the model currently requires a pointer, which is a known gap we are working on.
If you meet a barrier here, please write to gerardo@urbanecotopia.com and describe what you were trying to do. We will reply within five working days.
