“…Para configurar el modelo a simular, este software requiere dos archivos principales de entrada: 1) el archivo de configuración de datos geométricos del modelo simulado: posición y altura de los edificios, la vegetación, el tipo de suelo, la ubicación de los receptores y, por último, la geolocalización y geometría del entorno del proyecto; y 2) el archivo de configuración de salida, contiene los valores de los parámetros meteorológicos, nombres de las carpetas de salida y los tiempos de simulación. El uso de ENVI-met está ampliamente validado en el local (Alchapar y Correa, 2016;Sosa, 2017;Stocco, 2016), e internacionalmente (Middel, et al, 2014;Tsoka et al, 2018;Yucekaya, & Uslu, 2020).…”

El crecimiento del Área Metropolitana de Mendoza hacia el piedemonte ha deteriorado su calidad ambiental, impactando negativamente sobre el desarrollo sustentable de la ciudad. Esta investigación busca proponer y evaluar esquemas de urbanización que mejoren la eficiencia energética y den respuesta a los condicionantes ambientales del piedemonte. Para ello, se propusieron y simularon 12 esquemas urbanos que incorporan criterios de diseño sustentable, usando ENVI-met. Los mismos son el resultado del análisis de variables de diseño que condicionan la respuesta térmica de las actuales urbanizaciones del piedemonte y de los lineamientos de ordenamiento y regulación seguidos internacionalmente. Los resultados muestran que todas las propuestas mejoran la condición térmica y ambiental de las urbanizaciones existentes, siendo mayor la magnitud del impacto en terrenos con pendientes menores al 15 %. Estos representan el 70 % de los suelos urbanizables, lo que pone de manifiesto el potencial impacto de la aplicación de las propuestas analizadas.

“…The model includes the simulation of flows around and between buildings; the heat and vapor exchange processes of soil and wall surfaces; turbulence; vegetation parameters; bioclimatology; and contaminant dispersion (Bruse, 2009). The use of ENVI-met is widely validated both locally (Alchapar, 2014;Stocco, 2016;Sosa, 2017) and internationally (Tumini & Higueras, 2012;Tumini & Pérez Fargallo, 2015;Perini & Magliocco, 2014;Middel, et al, 2014;Yucekaya & Uslu, 2020). For the configuration of ENVI-met theoretical models, data are incorporated in the following main input files: • Area Input File: Created through a graphic interface, it contains data of the model's physical design values including the geographic location of the urban scheme, the building´s shape and size, the vegetation, and the real soil type conditions of the monitored case study as well as the receptors located in the proposed scheme.…”

The Metropolitan Area of Mendoza (MMA), Argentina, has extended towards peripheral hillside areas without considering the environmental impact of this action. This growth has continued the urban model of flatland development, causing changes in the ecosystem and an increase in outdoor air temperature. This work proposes and evaluates urban schemes that incorporate design criteria with the objective of preserving environmental characteristics and mitigating the effect of urbanization on the microclimate. The proposed grid layouts, located in three predominant slopes, were linear organic and Cul-de-Sac. Methodologically, the microclimatic response of the proposed schemes was evaluated by applying ENVI-met software simulation. The results show that urban growth is possible when carefully considering environmental limitations which grant maximum air temperature reductions of up to 2 °C.

“…According to meteorological data, it is observed that the climate type reflects the characteristics of transition of Mediterranean and semi-arid climate. The summer drought and high temperatures experienced in the city, the semi-arid climate, and the more frequent precipitation in the winter season are the characteristics of the Mediterranean climate (Yucekaya & Uslu, 2020). This region is the second regarding receives the least amount of rainfall of Turkey.…”

Based on Remote Sensing image processing and Geographic Information Systems analysis, population-dependent urban structures can be accurately monitored, analysed, and potential spatial or environmental problems restrained by professional land use management. In this study, the city of Nizip, located within the province of Gaziantep, was evaluated in this perspective and its development in the last thirty years was determined. The satellite images of 1990 and 2019 were evaluated within the framework of CORINE land classification system. The controlled classification method was implemented in the analysis and the city's growth rate and direction were determined while land cover changes were investigated both statistically and spatially. According to the analysis, residential areas in the study area, which were 555 ha in 1990, exceeded 1000 ha in 2019, due to industrialization and population growth. Urban sprawl was observed in NE and E directions. In addition, the bare lands of the city have been converted to dry agricultural lands in the last three decades which is supposedly due to long term climate effects. Along with the increasing industrialization movement in this period, the population increased by 30% on average in the central neighbourhoods. Migration from evacuated villages to the city centre following dam construction and water impoundment phases has increased the population. Rapid urbanization is also observed alongside newly built highways and motorways. Regarding increasing population movements in recent years, it is predicted that there could be spatial and environmental problems due to rapid and unplanned urbanization in Nizip city. It is stated that the elimination of these problems can be carried out through accurate and planned land use decision support systems.
