Urban environments face several environmental challenges — from rising temperatures and limited airflow to poor air quality — that directly impact public health and outdoor comfort.
How can microclimate simulation help address these issues?
Extreme heat: Urban heat intensifies health risks in cities. Microclimate modeling helps identify hotspots and guides the use of natural cooling methods like green spaces and shading.
Air quality: High pollution levels can impair respiratory health. Simulating pollutant dispersion supports the strategic placement of vegetation to filter air and improve airflow.
Thermal comfort & wind safety: Modeling comfort levels and wind flow creates safer, more usable urban spaces.
