The project “Local energy transition experiments for a climate-neutral society” aims to develop and implement ideas and measures in the Alpine region of Oberland-Ost (Canton of Bern) that promote a climate-neutral society. This involves initiating and implementing locally adapted energy innovations together with regional stakeholders.

Urban Heat Map

Urban Heat Map

The Smart Urban Heat Map is an online platform for visualizing urban heat in the Bern region. Valuable pioneering work was carried out by the Climatology Group at the Institute of Geography at the University of Bern, which has been operating an urban measurement network consisting of 80 sensor locations since 2018.
