Evaluating the thermal-radiative performance of ENVI-met model for green infrastructure typologies: Experience from a subtropical climate
TL;DR: In this article, the thermal-radiative performance of the ENVI-met model based on its recent updates was systematically evaluated and the strengths and limitations of the model were discussed and implications for model developers and users.
Journal ArticleDOI
Introduction of Fractal-Based Tree Digitalization and Accurate In-Canopy Radiation Transfer Modelling to the Microclimate Model ENVI-met
TL;DR: In this paper, a new method to describe plant skeletons using the so-called Lindenmayer-System has been implemented in the microclimate model ENVI-met, which allows describing much more realistic plants including the position and alignment of leaf clusters, a hierarchical description of the branching system and the calculation of the plant's biomechanics.
Journal ArticleDOI
Advances in Simulating Radiative Transfer in Complex Environments
TL;DR: In this paper, a new radiation scheme called indexed view sphere was introduced into the microclimate model ENVI-met, which actually accounts for radiative contributions of objects that are seen by each grid cell.
Journal ArticleDOI
Modeling the outdoor cooling impact of highly radiative “super cool” materials applied on roofs
TL;DR: In this article, the impacts of super cool roofing materials on outdoor air temperature compared to traditional cool roofs and green roofs were examined with the microclimate model ENVI-met, and it was shown that super cool roofs could lower pedestrian-level air temperatures in some areas by up to 2.4
Journal ArticleDOI
Modeling impacts of super cool roofs on air temperature at pedestrian level in mesoscale and microscale climate models
TL;DR: In this article, the authors compared the impact of super cool roofs with the Weather Research and Forecasting Model (WRF) and ENVI-met, respectively, using mesoscale and nested microscale simulations in two contrasting cities: New York City, NY and Phoenix, AZ.
