1. A computer-implemented method for environmental condition impact assessment visualization, the method comprising:
receiving, by a graphical user interface, a request for environmental condition impact data for specified equipment at a specified location;
retrieving weather model data for the specified location;
comparing the retrieved weather model data to user-defined rules associated with the specified equipment, the user-defined rules defining constraints based on environmental condition parameters;
identifying, based on a tree representing the user-defined rules in which (i) each level of the tree represents a specific environmental condition parameter of the environmental condition parameters and a node on a respective level represents a range of values for the specific environmental condition parameter and (ii) leaf nodes store a result of a user-defined rule firing based on the environmental condition parameters, a conflict exists between user-defined rules; and
providing, by the user interface, an alert indicating that the conflict exists and the rules that are in conflict and a graphic depiction indicating whether each of the user-defined rules is satisfied in the specified location based on the comparison.
