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.
Geospatial filters support as granular-level of focus as you need. Click the 'Geospatial Filter' tab and 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 Harvey Goodwin Avenue which has been identified as a feasible site. Once the polygon is drawn, the data will be filtered:
Provided you have appropriate permissions, you can download this data to share with stakeholders or to use in funding applications. Current export formats supported are JSON and CSV. You can also click on the properties on the map as above, to view the data field points for each property.
