ENVI-met Group

What is ENVI-met?

ENVI-met is a state-of-the-art, high-resolution 3D microclimate Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) model with high resolution, capable of simulating surface-plant-air interactions in urban environments. It offers a typical spatial resolution of 0.5 meters and a temporal resolution of 1 to 5 seconds.

Examples of studies using ENVI-met

• Quantitative evaluation of the mitigation effect of introducing heat mitigation strategies in a real city.

Activities of the ENVI-met group

The ENVI-met group has only recently been established and has not yet been able to carry out any significant activities, but it is hoped that the following activities will be carried out in the future.

• Development and revision of the ENVI-met manual.

• Evaluation of ENVI-met performance.

• Quantitative evaluation of the heat mitigation effect of ENVI-met.
