ENVI-met Winter1819

ENVI-met Winter1819 is a seasonal release of the ENVI-met microclimate simulation suite used to model how buildings, surfaces, vegetation, and the atmosphere interact at neighborhood scale. It delivers 3D, high‑resolution simulations to support research and design decisions in urban and landscape contexts.

Key capabilities:

• Simulates wind flow, radiation exchange (short‑wave and long‑wave), turbulence, and heat and moisture fluxes between air, surfaces, soil, and plants.
• Predicts variables such as air and surface temperature, wind speed, humidity, mean radiant temperature, and outdoor thermal comfort indices.
• Represents vegetation structure and physiology to capture shading, evapotranspiration, and associated cooling effects.
• Enables scenario testing for heat‑mitigation strategies (e.g., tree planting, shading devices, reflective or permeable materials, geometry changes).
• Provides tools for building 3D domains, assigning material and plant properties, running transient simulations, and visualizing outputs as maps and time series.

Typical users include urban climate researchers, planners, and landscape architects evaluating microclimate and outdoor comfort impacts of different design options. For details specific to the Winter1819 build, consult the official release notes.

ENVI-met Winter1819 is developed by ENVI-MET GmbH Essen, Germany. The most popular version of this product among our users is 4.4.
