Spatial Data on Cooling-related Economic Benefits from Urban Allotment Gardens in Wrocław, Poland (2014-2024)

This dataset contains geospatial and tabular data used to quantify the cooling effect of urban allotment gardens on adjacent buildings and the resulting reduction in cooling energy demand and costs in Wrocław, Poland.
The dataset is provided in an ESRI File Geodatabase (GDB) format within a ZIP archive and includes four primary layers/classes:
ALLOTMENTS: Polygon layer of aggregated allotment garden complexes, with a unique COOLED_ZONES_ID.
COOLED_ZONES: Polygon layer of the spatial extent of cooling influence for each allotment complex, with COOLED_ZONES_ID.
BUILDING_FOOTPRINTS: Polygon layer of cooled building footprints within the study area, with BUILDING_OBJECTID.
BUILDINGS_DATA: Attribute table containing the results of microclimatic and energy calculations for the "cooled" buildings. Key fields include various TAIR (air temperature) metrics, CDD (Cooling Degree Days), and CDEM (cooling demand). Values suffixed with _m2 are per square meter and must be multiplied by the building's usable floor area (UFA), considering the SATURATION_PERCENTAGE (air-conditioning penetration rate) for accurate aggregation.

The data enables the replication of the core methodology: delineating cooled zones, calculating building-specific CDD reductions, and estimating subsequent energy and cost savings attributable to allotment gardens.
