Evaluating the thermal-radiative performance of ENVI-met model for green infrastructure typologies: Experience from a subtropical climate

Wanlu Ouyang et al.

Summary: This study systematically evaluated the thermal-radiative performance of the ENVI-met model based on recent updates, emphasizing the importance of proper validation before application, especially when full forcing and localized settings are essential. Results showed improvements in estimation accuracy with recent updates of ENVI-met, with sensitivity to metrics, and the capability of simulating different green infrastructure typologies simultaneously. Implications were provided for model developers and users regarding the strengths and limitations of ENVI-met.

Mitigation of the impacts of heat islands on energy consumption in buildings: A case study of the city of Tehran, Iran

Alimohammad Sedaghat et al.

Summary: The study found that by combining high-albedo materials and vegetation, the urban heat island effect in Tehran can be reduced by 2.1 degrees Celsius, resulting in a 29% decrease in cooling load for residential buildings. Implementing these optimal strategies can achieve better thermal comfort and energy savings.

Application of weather data morphing for calibration of urban ENVI-met microclimate models. Results and critical issues

Maurizio Detommaso et al.

Summary: This study investigates the use of Urban Weather Generator (UWG) tool to transform weather data from suburban meteorological stations for urban context, validating the approach against on-site measurements for various points in a city district. The results show a strong correlation during nighttime microclimate analysis.

Verifying an ENVI-met simulation of the thermal environment of Yanzhong Square Park in Shanghai

Junyan Yang et al.

Summary: ENVI-met, the most popular numerical simulation software in microclimate research, struggles to accurately reproduce the thermal environment of a complex urban green space due to poor fitting index, underestimated temperature differences between different areas, and overestimated cooling effect of grass. Further verification is needed to identify the specific factors causing this inaccuracy. Despite its limitations, ENVI-met remains a useful tool in research and design.
