About the webinar

Depaving, high-albedo pavement, and new tree planting all get credited with urban cooling. This webinar isolates the individual contribution of each, using ENVI-met simulations of real urban regeneration projects in Milan.

What's new in ENVI-met 6.0 Lightning

  • How ENVI-met simulations evaluate real urban regeneration projects in Milan, Italy, comparing existing and future scenarios
  • The individual contribution of depaving, high-albedo pavement replacement, and new tree planting to urban cooling
  • Results from several real-world case studies, showing how intervention effectiveness changes across different urban contexts
  • How to compare case studies against each other and use simulation results to support urban regeneration and climate adaptation decisions

Who should attend the webinar?

  • Urban planners, architects, and designers working on urban regeneration and climate adaptation projects
  • Environmental consultants and researchers focused on urban heat island mitigation
  • City officials and environmental agency staff engaged in climate resilience planning
  • Anyone applying microclimatic simulation tools, including ENVI-met, to real-world urban design decisions
