Microclimate

The Microclimate analysis, which can also be referred to as the Thermal Comfort Index, provides a holistic view of how your design influences thermal sensation on-site. By integrating various climatic factors and considering how they interact with building geometry and urban layout, this simulation reveals distinct thermal zones throughout your project.

It identifies areas that offer optimal thermal comfort, whether through exposure to warming sun in cooler periods or shade and ventilation during warmer times. This analysis considers the impact of building shadows, material properties, and spatial configurations on human-scale thermal sensation, allowing you to understand where occupants will experience the most comfortable conditions across different seasons and times of day.

It guides the placement of outdoor activities, seating areas, and recreational spaces within thermally optimal zones. Simultaneously, it highlights areas that might benefit from design interventions such as additional shading, wind protection, or material adjustments. This evidence-based approach ensures that your design choices align with creating the most comfortable and functional outdoor environments.
