Presently, there are individual tools available for the assessment of shading, thermal, radiation and wind flow characteristics of a proposed design that require assessment by expert users. This project will quantify and model the potential microclimatic influences and impacts of a building, within a precinct of buildings, through interrogation of a 3D CAD model. If the proof of concept is successful, this tool could enable planners/developers/designers to model this interaction at an early design level. It has the potential to provide local authorities Australia-wide with a tool to rapidly quantify impacts of building designs within a precinct or region of buildings. . |
