Due to climate change increased level of heat across human living environment creating challenges for sustainable living, especially in the urban areas. This study attempts to present a novel framework for AI driven Ariel image analysis to create heat map of a particular place concurrently able to provide mitigation suggestions. On the basis of the advancement of AI application in environmental analysis and decision making, this study suggests detail step by step process to be integrated to form a complete actionable framework for AI. Technologies which are currently being used in relevant fields e.g. image capturing and preparing, image analysis by AI, creating heat map from analyzed image, data validation and correction, decision making and monitoring have been discussed. Developing this kind of system would not only save time and provide accuracy in fighting heat, but also will be able to serve as a powerful tool for planning and decision making in terms of sustainability of living environment as well as to shed light on the potential of future researches on AI-driven applications in climate responsive design.
