Urban Cooling _ nan values (new)

Software Support
6

Hello again @dave and @jesseG,

following my previous message, I noticed that by increasing the LULC area I was able to solve the issue of the “nan” values.

I also slightly modified my inputs (I attach them here). However, I still have some doubts, and I would appreciate it if you could help me.

  1. The uhi_results_[Suffix].shp does not show any energy savings values, and I wonder why, since I included in my inputs the costs per kWh.

  2. The buildings_with_stats_[Suffix].shp shows the energy savings values, but I don’t understand if their unit is or by kWh. If it's then those values are huge and there’s something wrong. What it could be?

  3. I’ve read that another user had a similar problem (Urban Cool Model Valuation Results) and @jesseG told her that ““energy_sav” column actually provides results for each building in total kWh saved, or mitigated, over the entire period of interest” . How do you set the period of interest? For example, if I want to consider one year or one month, how do I tell InVEST this? That could be very relevant for et0 (if I have the annual average value shall I divide it by 12?). If I have the daily energy consumption per building type, in kWh/degC/m shall I multiply it by 30 or 365?

Thank you so much for your help, and sorry for the confusion I’ve created.
