Urban climate models often struggle to represent trees accurately. But trees play an important role in regulating temperature, improving air quality, and shaping the urban climate. To make climate modeling more reliable, ENVI-met software focuses on capturing trees as they really are, from their location and height to how their canopy changes with the seasons. In today's Quick Tip, we'll show you therefore how to capture the impact of urban trees, making it easy to: • Map exact tree locations and sizes • Track canopy changes across seasons and • Model real-time impacts on temperature and air quality. Want to see the difference accurate tree data could make in your urban planning?

A well-designed #landscape does not impose itself upon nature, it moves with it, adapts to it, and evolves alongside it. Trees are not merely static objects in a master plan; they are living structures, shifting through the seasons, influencing light, shade and temperature in ways both subtle and profound. Yet, too often, urban planning treats them as fixed elements, ignoring their dynamic role in shaping the microclimate. The #Tree Calendar in #envimet changes this. By allowing you to adjust Leaf Area Density and track flowering cycles, you can simulate trees as they truly are, responsive, seasonal, and vital. This means: - Greater seasonal accuracy: capturing how trees regulate temperature, cast shade, and filter the air throughout the year. - Informed species selection: choosing trees that enhance cooling, air purification, and urban resilience. - Better human experiences: designing places that feel comfortable and alive, with the right balance of shade in summer and sunlight in winter. True landscape design works with time, not against it. With the Tree Calendar, you can take a step closer to creating cities that are not just greener, but more deeply connected to the natural rhythms that sustain them.

Green infrastructure is essential for sustainable, healthy cities, but how can you design it for maximum impact? Parks, trees, and green roofs help cities to reduce heat stress, improve air quality, and manage water runoff - key challenges in urban environments dominated by concrete and asphalt. But designing green infrastructure isn't just about adding greenery; it's about strategic placement and impact analysis. With #envimet software, you can simulate and evaluate different green infrastructure strategies: • Identify the best tree species and locations to cool urban heat islands • Design parks and green spaces that maximize cooling and water retention • Test the effectiveness of green roofs and walls • Analyze grass and permeable surfaces for climate adaptation Explore how green infrastructure can transform cities: https://lnkd.in/eJnsEUKK #UrbanPlanning #GreenInfrastructure #Sustainability #ClimateAction

Wall greening is essential for improving urban climates, reducing heat, enhancing air quality, and boosting biodiversity while lowering energy consumption and transforming cityscapes. But how can architects, landscape architects, and environmental planners design green walls that truly maximize these benefits? Watch this video to see how ENVI-met provides a powerful simulation tool to model the effects of wall greening: • Select different plant types, substrates, and layer thicknesses • Simulate climate, air quality & energy impacts • Gain data-driven insights to optimize designs With ENVI-met, you can design greener, healthier, and more resilient urban spaces while supporting green building standards.

Urban design plays a crucial role in climate adaptation, as demonstrated by two European capitals facing extreme temperature ranges - from Helsinki's possible -20°C winters to Madrid's +40°C summers. In #Helsinki, wide streets serve an essential purpose by maximizing limited winter sunlight. These expansive boulevards allow low-angle solar radiation to reach deeper into the city, providing natural warmth and minimizing ice formation. #Madrid in contrast opts for narrow, compact streets to create essential shade during intense summers. These shaded corridors act as natural cooling systems, effectively mitigating the urban heat island effect. Modern urban planners therefore rely on #envimet simulations to optimize these design elements. The software models solar radiation patterns, wind dynamics, and microclimate impacts to determine optimal street layouts, building heights, and vegetation placement for climate resilience.

Wind flows are not random, they are shaped by mountains, valleys, and urban structures, impacting everything from heat dispersion to air quality. Understanding these invisible forces is critical for better planning and design. Did you know open terrains experience stronger winds, which help disperse heat, while sheltered spots behind hills or buildings trap warmth and pollutants, creating air quality challenges? These patterns shape microclimates, affecting the comfort and health of the spaces you build or design. With ENVI-met’s 3D modeling technology, these complex wind dynamics become visible and actionable. Our real-time simulations reveal how wind flows around terrain and structures, giving you the insights needed to design smarter, healthier environments. The urgency? Wind patterns directly influence sustainability, livability, and compliance with environmental standards. Don’t leave your planning to guesswork. Explore now with ENVI-met how wind is shaping your projects - before it shapes your outcomes: https://lnkd.in/eJnsEUKK #ENVI_met #UrbanPlanning #Sustainability #EnvironmentalScience #DesignInnovation

Want to design cities that truly work for the people who live in them? See urban design through the eyes of a mother: - Are the sidewalks shaded and inviting? - Is the air clean and safe to breathe? - Are the streets livable, even during extreme heat? Urban design isn’t just about infrastructure - it’s about creating spaces where people want to live, work, and invest in the future. At ENVI-met, we empower planners and developers with precise simulation software to build healthier, more comfortable cities. Model how shade, airflow, and heat shape your designs and make choices that attract families, enhance livability, and create neighborhoods where people want to live. The cities of tomorrow start with the choices you make today. Ready to build smarter, better spaces? Learn how ENVI-met transforms your urban design: https://lnkd.in/eCX-Unxx
