Problem
Infrastructure projects with long lifespans often lack site‑specific, engineering‑grade climate data and independent expertise, leading to designs that may be under‑prepared for future hazards such as floods, heat waves, or sea‑level rise. Without reliable climate risk assessments, engineers, utilities, and asset managers struggle to prioritize investments and meet resilience standards.
Solution
Degree Day provides observation‑calibrated climate intelligence and independent technical advisory tailored to infrastructure design and asset risk decisions. The firm translates climate model outputs into engineering specifications—such as IDF curves, return periods, and load factors—delivered in formats ready for design calculations. Services include rapid hazard screening, customized climate projections, end‑to‑end risk assessments, and expert review of datasets and methodologies. By integrating multiple data sources, expert judgment, and interdisciplinary analysis, Degree Day enables engineers, utilities, municipalities, and developers to identify high‑risk assets, prioritize resilience investments, and produce defensible technical reports within days rather than months.
Target Audience
Primary customers are engineering firms, utilities, municipalities, and infrastructure developers that require climate‑informed design criteria and risk assessments for long‑lived assets.
Features
- Site‑specific climate projections calibrated to observed data, delivered in engineering‑grade formats (IDF curves, return periods, load factors)
- Rapid global hazard screening for floods, hurricanes, heat, wildfires, sea‑level rise, and other extreme events
- End‑to‑end climate risk assessment workflow: hazard exposure, financial impact quantification, and resilience planning
- Independent expert review and QA of climate assumptions, datasets, and methodologies for client projects
- White‑label technical support and sub‑consulting for engineering firms and consultancies
- Customizable deliverables for utilities, municipalities, and asset managers, including design values and resilience standards
