Urban Climate in Practice: ENVI-met Simulations for Swiss Development Projects

Urban climate has become a concrete planning factor in Swiss cities: cantons publish detailed climate maps, and Zurich’s revised planning law allows municipalities to impose binding rules on greening, ventilation and heat mitigation. In this session, a practitioner who has worked with ENVI-met since 2014 explains how his team handles larger development projects, which methods prove reliable and where projects tend to fail. The lessons also apply outside Switzerland.

Programme

• The role of ENVI-met in climate-responsive planning and what cantonal authorities expect
• Turning GIS data and architectural plans into model input, and the main difficulties
