RWAR

RWAR - Remote Weather Assessment for Real- Estate

The holistic operating system for climate-resilient property assessment

The Vision

Today, real estate purchasing decisions are often based on outdated hazard maps and gut feeling. Furthermore, there is a need to address improvements on one's own property, plan what should be upgraded in the future, etc. RAWR transforms static spatial data into an interactive, 3D-visualized decision-making foundation that combines the risks of today with the climate scenarios of tomorrow (2030, 2050, 2080).

Core Components of the 3D Visualization

The centerpiece is a Digital Twin of the property. In contrast to flat maps (2D), 3D enables the analysis of physical flow paths and slope dynamics.
- Layer Structure: Users can overlay various hazard sources on the 3D model like "foils" (transparencies) or look beneath the earth's surface (groundwater).

The Data Layers (The "Holistic Picture")

Hydro-Check    
- Flood Risk & Heavy Rain Runoff: HQ100/300 maps (100/300-year flood maps), surface runoff simulations (where does the water flow during flash floods?).

Geo-Hazard
- Landslide & Rockfall: Slope inclination analyses, historical event data, soil conditions (geology).

Aquifer-Monitor
- Groundwater & Wells: Hydrological maps, groundwater level trends, drought risk (sinking water tables).

Future-Trend
- Climate Projections: Integration of IPCC scenarios (RCP 4.5/8.5) for heatwaves and heavy rain frequency.

Empfehlungen
- Actionable Advice: Text-based recommendations for actions when purchasing the property (e.g., High flood risk detected -> Recommendation: Install a backwater valve or increase infiltration area).

Anwendungsbeispiele (Use Cases)
- The Alpine Check (Focus: Landslide): A buyer sees in the 3D model that while the building plot appears safe, a steep slope above it could become unstable with increasing heavy rain events (future trend).
- The Well Guarantee (Focus: Groundwater): In regions without a central water network, the tool simulates whether a well on this property can still be operated economically during the drought summers of the 2040s.
- The Flood Protection (Focus: Heavy Rain): Visualization of "flow paths." Where does water pool on the property during a 100-year rain event? (Crucial for house placement/basement waterproofing).

Evaluation & Market Potential

Why it solves a Problem

Insurance companies and banks (due to the EU Taxonomy Regulation) are increasingly required to disclose the climate resilience of their portfolios. A private homebuyer or project developer has previously had little access to easily understandable, combined analyses. The 3D visualization makes "invisible" hazards (groundwater, soil instability) comprehensible to laypeople for the first time.

Who would pay for this?
- Project Developers: To minimize risk before purchasing large areas of land.
- Real Estate Agents in the Premium Segment: As a trust-building certificate ("Climate-Resilience-Checked").
- Insurance Companies: For more precise premium calculations (underwriting).- Municipalities- Companies looking for new properties- Private Buyers/property maintainers: As "due diligence" for the biggest investment of their lives.

Hurdle:

Data Harmonization. Spatial data is often stored in different formats by state agencies, municipalities, and private providers. The true value of your product lies in the "data pipeline": the automated collection, cleaning, and merging of these sources into a single, fluid 3D environment.
