Urban Design and Planning

Presentation

Today, the safety and sustainable development requirements, the HEQ (High Environmental Quality) and the LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) systems, are good reasons to have a climatologic partner. At Meteodyn, we have the expertise in wind assessment so you can plan your projects accordingly. Thanks to our inovative solutions you can add value to your projects, be confident in your results, and deliver better projects.

YOU ARE ...

An architect, an urban developer, a city planner, a civil engineer, working in a design or inspection office, part of a local technical services team or involved in public works...

Meteodyn provides you with the best information to make the right decisions:

Optimize the design of your constructions and apply the Eurocodes or the American ASCE7-05
Improve climatic comfort in outdoor spaces: parks, terraces, pedestrian walkways etc...
Reduce energy losses by natural air conditioning, wind-power generation
Ensure the best wind protection for your worksites, urban transport and pedestrian environments

Solutions

UrbaWind

Meteodyn has developed automtatic CFD software to model the wind in complex terrain and urban areas.

Expertise and consulting - Case studies

Pedestrian wind comfort map

Climatic comfort map around buildings over an area. This map is obtained by integrating comfort criteria and wind statistics into the UrbaWind program.

Wind-induced natural ventilation

Meteodyn can quantify the natural ventilcation in the buildings by taking into accont the effects of surrounding buildings and integrating the local climatology.

Topography site study

Wind statistics for a given site and time span. The most relevant statistics from the weather service station are transferred to the studied site using the TopoWind software.

Safety analysis

Computation of roughness coefficients and orography in terms of Eurocode 1 or ASCE7-05 for wind-related dimensioning of constructions..
