Geospatial filters are a new way to quickly focus on a certain geographical area when using data, to consider low-carbon technology intervention projects or applying for funding schemes such as the Heat Pump Ready Programme.
If you prefer video-based learning, here's a video which walks through the steps in this tutorial:
In this case study, we are working as a team working to submit an application to the Heat Pump Ready Programme. To access geospatial filters, first you must download the dataset.
We've downloaded the Ground Source Heat Pump Potential dataset, and found that initially the volume and breadth of data can be overwhelming.
To apply a geospatial filter, click "Filters" then select "Geospatial Filter":
Geospatial filters support as granular-level of focus as you need. After selecting 'Geospatial Filter' you can either pick a polygon (using boundaries such as local authority, MSOA, LSOA), or draw it yourself with pinpoint accuracy.
In this case, we'd like to focus on Menzieshill Rd, which has been identified as a feasible site. Once the polygon is drawn, the data will be filtered:
You can click on individual properties on the map above, to view the data field points for each property. You can also download this data to share with stakeholders or to use in funding applications, if you have the appropriate permissions. Current export formats supported are JSON and CSV.
