Why study microclimate

Comfortable outdoor spaces don’t happen by accident


A project’s long-term viability and success can be determined by an early understanding of how it will interact with its surroundings and microclimate. Clearer climate insights upfront make for stronger proposals, assuring owners and developers that costly late stage surprises are unlikely. 

Objectively evaluate outdoor comfort


Outdoor comfort analysis and microclimate studies are all about finding a perfect balance of physical factors.

Crucially, it accounts for human habits and preferences in a highly localized manner—yielding quantitative metrics that assess the utility of outdoor spaces and amenities.
