ENVI-met validation data accompanied with simulation data of the impact of facade greening on the urban microclimate

This dataset consists mainly of two subsets. The first sub-set includes measurements and simulation data conducted to validate the simulation tool ENVI-met. The measurements were conducted at the campus of the Bauhaus-University Weimar in Weimar, Germany and consisted of recording ex-terior air temperature, globe temperature, relative humidity, and wind velocity at 1.5 m at four points on four different days. After the measurements, the geometry of the campus was modelled and meshed; the simulations were conducted using the weather data of the measurements days with the aim of investigating the accuracy of the model. The second data subset consists of ENVI-met simulation data of the potential of facade greening in improving the outdoor environment and the indoor air temperature during heat-waves in Central European cities. The data consist of the boundary conditions and the simulation output of two sim-ulation models: with and without facade greening. The ge-ometry of the models corresponded to a residential buildings district in Stuttgart, Germany. The simulation output con -sisted of exterior air temperature, mean radiant temperature, relative humidity, and wind velocity at 12 different probe points in the model in addition to the indoor air tempera -ture of an exemplary building. The dataset presents both ver-tical profiles of the probed parameters as well as the time series output of the five-day simulation duration. Both data subsets correspond to the investigations presented in the co submitted article [1]. (C) 2022 The Author(s). Published by Elsevier Inc.
