TOOLBOX

Micro-climate and Lean UHI analytics

A parametric workflow uses coarse, fast analysis of urban
overheating to pin-point critical areas which are subsequently modelled for dynamic simulations. The former is based on earth observation of land-use, land-cover, vegetation, and thermal bands, the latter on connecting microclimate simulations.This tool is designed for rapid feedback during co-designing alternative scenarios.
