\"Microclimate<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Great outdoor spaces encourage public life, inviting people of all ages and backgrounds to meet, play and socialize. Perhaps they might stroll along a promenade, linger for coffee on a caf\u00e9 terrace, or simply just hang out on seating steps\u00a0and people-watch. Especially in an urban context, good outdoor public spaces are essential for improving people\u2019s well-being. \u00a0

When designing these outdoor spaces, creating the right conditions that allow people to feel comfortable and safe is key. Microclimate plays a big role, since unpleasant conditions such as excessive heat or wind discourage people from spending time outdoors. At the same time, cities must now be equipped to face hotter temperatures that, in turn, worsen urban heat islands. It\u2019s vital for architects and urban designers to be able to pinpoint problematic areas and address them at the earliest stage of designing so they can create the lively public spaces for people that they envisioned. This leads to implementing long-term solutions that are more effective and sustainable from day one and reduces the risk of having to implement high-cost fixes later in the process.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using Microclimate Analysis in Forma to guide early-stage design decisions\u00a0<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Autodesk Forma\u2019s microclimate analysis is designed to help users make more informed decisions about thermal comfort, at the early stage,\u00a0when designing outdoor spaces. This analysis combines our sun, daylight, and wind analyses with local weather conditions to calculate the perceived temperature across your site. These insights will help you understand how to adapt your design to the local climate conditions for optimal comfort so you can achieve better outcomes.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The perceived temperature<\/em> is similar to when the weather forecast announces a temperature of 20\u2103, which feels like <\/em>15\u2103 because of factors such as wind or humidity. But our approach using the Universal Thermal Climate Index (UTCI)<\/a> \u2013 considered to be both an accurate and respected indicator \u2013 takes this further by including a wide range of factors into consideration.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The analysis allows users to explore the conditions of their site, and specific situations more intuitively. Historical weather data is used as a starting base to show typical conditions. In the Temperature<\/strong> section, users can configure specific times of day, air temperature and wind situation (speed, direction and incoming height). You can also now see the specific weather data used for your selected time and date, e.g., the percentage of humidity or cloud cover. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In the Comfort <\/strong>section, which indicates the fraction of time when the perceived temperature is expected to be within the comfortable range, users can now modify the comfort range for different times of the year according to the location. By moving the comfortable range selector from project settings to the right-side menu, we\u2019ve also made it much more straightforward to quickly update this when assessing different times of the year. After all, most people have different ideas about what feels comfortable in summer and winter. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Considering microclimate<\/strong>\u00a0is essential when designing future-proof urban spaces<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As with everything we do at Forma, we listen closely to our users so we can better understand their needs and ways of working. For an update of the analysis, we worked especially closely with Danish consultancy Aaen Engineering. Their in-depth expertise about urban microclimates gave us valuable insights into the most important considerations and the value of microclimate analysis at the early phase of a project, especially when it comes to designing future-proof urban spaces in a sustainable manner. \u201cIt is essential to address the urban microclimate in the early design phases,\u201d says Mathias Holm S\u00f8rensen, sustainability engineer at Aaen Engineering<\/a>. “Both urban comfort and building performance are closely linked to the form, size, orientation and placement of building volumes, and it requires developers, urban planners and architects to consider the programming of both urban and building functions to accommodate the given microclimate in all the different spaces in the urban area.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The consequences of not addressing microclimate conditions may potentially impact the quality of the spaces, and undoubtedly costs and timelines. \u201cIt becomes more difficult to use the microclimatic conditions to add quality to the urban spaces whether it\u2019s to bring more afternoon sunlight near a caf\u00e9, or to invite a cooling breeze into the playground. If building volumes are placed without consideration for the microclimate, it is only possible to do minor adjustments later, for instance, by adding urban fixtures and trees to mitigate wind discomfort.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Helping teams with early microclimate insights\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In terms of workflow, S\u00f8rensen explains that Forma\u2019s microclimate analysis helps the team get initial, indicative results about site conditions. By doing so, they\u2019re able to see early on which scenarios have the most optimal conditions, and which ones have room for improvement. Later in the process, when more precise and advanced simulations are needed, they switch to specialist software which allows them to control all the details of e.g. the underlying wind simulations \u2013 using their expertise and experience to fine tune settings such as mesh refinement and turbulence models. \u00a0

For the early stage, Forma\u2019s microclimate analysis speeds up the workflow for the team at Aaen Engineering and improves the decision-making process. \u201cOnce the geometry and analyses areas have been modelled in Forma, all the simulation steps are compressed into one click. This is a great improvement compared to our traditional workflows, which often required us to do many intermediary steps before getting an analysis result. Before, we could spend several days of work before we had any preliminary wind analysis results, but with Forma we can typically get a result within a day, and for several scenarios.\u201d S\u00f8rensen also comments that different scenarios can be easily compared, enabling the team to provide factual arguments for design discussions. \u201cForma makes it possible to focus more on the interpretation and less on the simulation process, which makes it more usable for more people.\u201d \u00a0
\u00a0
At the end of the day, it\u2019s about creating spaces that people enjoy spending time in, and want to return to, and where they can thrive. How can we encourage more designers to consider microclimate at the early phase? \u00a0\u201cIt\u2019s important to understand the role microclimate plays in the function of a space, and the various microclimatic parameters. But also how to use the findings to support architectural decisions from both the perspective of quality of life but also economic feasibility,\u201d S\u00f8rensen says. \u201cWe plan our cities to provide the best possible conditions for people. The microclimate can be considered as way of stimulating our senses. The sounds of cars, machines or wind through the trees affect our hearing; the sun and wind affect our thermal reception; we smell and feel the air quality in our lungs. By understanding how important the stimulation of our senses is when doing the urban planning, we are more likely to create cities and spaces that feel inviting and comfortable for people, and know that it contributes to their health and well-being. By sheltering public space from cold wind and the hot sun, then we as designers, engineers and planners can extend the amount of time people spend outdoors, contributing to more urban life and healthier citizens.\u201d\u00a0

We\u2019d like to extend a big thanks again to Mathias Holm S\u00f8rensen for his valuable help with updating the analysis. \u00a0
