ENVI-met

​

ENVI-met is used for appraisal of urban spaces master plans, physical planning of built
environment morphology and help to draw a picture about the role of materials and
vegetation on pedestrian perception and comfort.

ENVI-met is a three-dimensional microclimate model designed to simulate the surface-plant-air interactions in urban environment with a typical resolution of 0.5 to 10 m in space and 10 sec in time. Typical areas of application are Urban Climatology, Architecture, Building Design or Environmental Planing, just to name a few. ENVI-met is a Freeware program based on different scientific research projects and is therefore under constant development. ENVI-met is NOT Open Source. ENVI-met is a prognostic model based on the fundamental laws of fluid dynamics and thermo- dynamics.

The model includes the simulation of: Flow around and between buildings, Exchange processes of heat and vapour at the ground surface and at walls, Turbulence Exchange at vegetation and vegetation parameters Bioclimatology Pollutant dispersion.
