Abstract

An ENVI-met-operating methodology is case-studied aiming at contributing to the experience-exchange in ENVI-met’s applied-to-practice operation and providing its developers with feedback.


The operating methodology is explained in detail as being applied – in an earlier research partnership with a city council’s urban-projects division – on an actual urban-street-requalification project.


Daytime and night-time pedestrian-thermal-comfort impact of different intervention scenarios – differing both in soil-cover types and/or street-trees numbers and arrangements – were assessed and compared during a significant heat-wave event.


The results seem to reveal a significant ENVI-met limitation on modelling green pergolas – open-wire-trellis overhang covered with climber plants.
