Microclimate and urban planning

City design must consider the climatic dimension to ensure comfortable outdoor spaces, and improve the energy efficiency of buildings.

The city is key of the energy transition.

Once an energy consumer, it is transforming to become more passive, self-consuming and energy-producing. Photovoltaic panels integrated into buildings, as well as good management of natural ventilation and solar gains, allow the buildings to reduce their environmental footprint and ensure user comfort.

To support these changes, we have relied on our expertise in local climatology and CFD technology.

UrbaWind and UrbaSun software can be used in synergy to help you achieve these challenges.
