ENVI-met - Decode urban nature with ENVI-met software

Simulate the microclimate of a city down to the square metre

ENVI-met software allows you to create sustainable living conditions in a constantly changing environment. With ENVI-met’s interactive tools you can dive into any aspect of the microclimate complex and analyse how your designs perform.

The software model is applied worldwide, from the tropics to the polar regions. With more than 3,000 independent studies, ENVI-met is the most evaluated microclimate model available, proving its capabilities to accurately simulate the outdoor microclimate for any place on the Earth.
