To accurately assess the urban climate, modeling the built environment with precision is essential. In this Quick-Tip, you’ll learn how to create custom wall constructions using the DB Manager, enabling you to better represent the diverse materials and structures found in urban settings. By defining custom wall properties, such as insulation, thermal conductivity, and material layers, you can improve the accuracy of your simulations and analyses. This level of detail allows for more realistic modeling of heat transfer and energy balance in urban areas, which is crucial for studying the impact of building design on the local microclimate. Mastering this technique will help you enhance your urban climate assessments and develop more effective climate adaptation strategies.
