[BLDG-SIM] Thermal Environment in Urban area Researchs

[tianii tll]

  Envi-met is a good choice to simulate the urban microclimate. Its website is 
  http://www.geographie.ruhr-uni-bochum.de/agklima/envimet/
  "ENVI-met is a three-dimensional microclimate model designed to simulate the surface-plant-air interactions in urban environment with a typical resolution of 0.5 to 10 m in space and 10 sec in time. Typical areas of application are Urban Climatology, Architecture, Building Design or Environmental Planing, just to name a few. "
   
  Another alternative choice is AUSSSM Tool. Its website is 
  http://ktlabo.cm.kyushu-u.ac.jp/e/UHI/ausssm_tool/ausssm_top_e.htm
  "AUSSSM Tool was developed as a computer software, originating from the methodology of the revised-Architectural-Urban-Soil-Simultaneous Simulation Model (revised-AUSSSM), for estimating the Urban Heat Island (UHI) effects in concrete terms."  This software is very east to use,but this software has some limitation. 
   
  The above two softwares are free.   
   
  Hope this helps,
