The analysis uses the 3D-microscale ENVI-met software (V5.7) which helps to quantify the thermal benefits of implementing green roofs.</p><p class="ql-align-justify">The spatial setup was created using the Geodata to ENVI-met plugin in QGIS. The following documents contain two different spatial setups for the Anjelierstraat neighborhood: one with green roofs and one without. This neighborhood was selected due to its high heat stress, roof characteristics, and proximity to a weather station. Detailed information about the data sources and model setup can be found in the README document.</p>"
