🌡️ Lost Productivity Due to Extreme Heat 🌡️2.5 Billion hours: is the amount of work lost annually due to heat exposure across the United States. This translates to about more than a $100 billion loss in labor productivity to the economy since high temperatures can severely reduce the efficiency and effectiveness of workers, leading to significant productivity losses. Whether it’s outdoor labor or indoor office work, extreme heat affects concentration, energy levels, and overall performance.With this in mind, FortyGuard is on a mission to diminish the economic impact of extreme urban heat by identifying its root cause. Our latest Temperature Dashboard allows users to remotely create urban heat maps with detailed insights that can help identify work zones experiencing extreme heat. Moreover, we provide tailored, actionable analytics that businesses and cities can use to optimize working conditions through improved cooling systems, strategic planning, and better resource management. This will help in reducing lost hours, enhance productivity, and maintain a robust and resilient workforce every summer.#ClimateTech #UrbanHeat #Productivity #SmartCities
