Who should attend this webinar?

This webinar is designed for architects, engineers, sustainability consultants, and construction professionals who need to understand upcoming EPBD whole-life carbon requirements and compliance strategies.

Is the webinar free to attend?

Yes, this is a free-to-attend webinar hosted by One Click LCA. Registration is required to secure your spot.

Will there be practical examples?

Yes, the webinar includes examples of how countries enforce whole-life carbon limits and disclosure rules, along with strategies to apply in real projects.

Integrating microclimate and heat stress modelling in climate-adaptive urban redevelopment in Flanders, Belgium

About the webinar

Urban (re)development means balancing competing demands within limited space. As the climate changes, heat extremes increase in frequency, duration, and intensity, and cities face a growing need for adaptation. That need competes with densification, housing, mobility, and other pressures, all claiming the same scarce urban land. At the same time, cities are expanding and densifying, which increases the impact further.

Locally applicable, quantitative tools address this gap. Microclimate modelling maps both heat stress severity and the cooling potential of green-blue infrastructure, integrating climate adaptation more effectively into design, planning, and policy.

Siebe Puynen presents his work with ENVI-met across a range of urban redevelopment projects, tracing the modelling workflow from policy and vision through planning, design, and implementation. A central theme is the challenge of bridging the gap between scientific insight and practical application, and how to close that gap. The session also covers microclimate measurements and how to use them alongside model results.

What does the webinar cover?

Join this free webinar to learn how ENVI-met simulations can support multiple facets of urban redevelopment.

In this session, you’ll learn:

How microclimate modelling supports multiple facets of urban redevelopment
How to use modelling results in scenario analysis and landscape design optimization
How to evaluate redevelopment processes with both measurements and modelling
Live Q&A with climate resilience and environmental design experts

Who should attend the webinar?

Urban planners
Landscape architects
Policy makers and government workers, especially from local governments (municipalities)
Project engineers
Climate scientists interested in bridging the gap between academia and practice

Guests

Siebe Puynen

Climate expert, Antea Group Belgium; doctoral researcher, University of Ghent

Siebe Puynen combines private consultancy and academic research. At Antea Group, where he has worked since 2019, he leads and contributes to projects on complex urban planning and climate adaptation. In 2023, he expanded into academic research and is currently pursuing a PhD in physics at the University of Ghent, investigating the impact of green-blue infrastructure on urban microclimate in the context of urban redevelopment. He holds a Master's in Bioscience Engineering and a postgraduate degree in weather and climate modelling.
