[Bldg-sim] umi - urban modeling environment

[Christoph Reinhart]

Dear colleagues:

Some of you might be interested in umi a new, Rhino-based design environment for modeling the environmental performance of neighborhoods and cities regarding operational energy use (EnergyPlus), walkability and daylighting potential (Daysim/Radiance). umi is being developed by the Sustainable Design Lab at MIT and can be downloaded from http://www.urbanmodeling.net/.

We gave an one hour overview of umi during a recent symposium on Sustainable Urban Design<http://mit.edu/SustainableDesignLab/projects/SustainableUrbanDesignSymposium/> which will be online in a few days.

Happy simulations,
