Our latest video simulation reveals the importance of green spaces in enhancing urban thermal comfort. Tiergarten Park in Berlin is featured in this innovative study, demonstrating how vegetation significantly cools the surrounding areas, even extending this cooling effect into the night. The simulation highlights hourly surface temperature changes, emphasizing the importance of parks in mitigating the urban heat island effect and making our cities more enjoyable. At ENVI-met, we have analyzed the dynamics of park environments, exploring how different grass types, surface materials, tree species, and water bodies contribute to cooling. This research showcases the potential of sustainable urban planning, highlighting the benefits of green spaces in our cities. Curious to see Tiergarten Park's transformation and its impact on urban comfort? Watch below:
