 Welcome to ENVI-met, the holistic microclimate modelling system.  Welcome to ENVI-met, the holistic microclimate modelling system. 
  
-ENVI-met is the next generation of our high-resolution microclimate modelling system. After more than 6 years of development since the last release, ENVI-met 4 offers a huge set innovative and state-of-the-art approaches and new simulation modules to understand and quantify the interactions between your local environment and the outdoor microclimate. [[apps:envimet|Read more...]] +ENVI-met is the state-of-the-Art  high-resolution microclimate modelling system. 
  
 ENVI-met is a three-dimensional microclimate model designed to simulate the surface-plant-air interactions in urban environment with a typical resolution down to 0.5 m in space and 1- 5 sec in time. Typical areas of application are Architecture, Landscape Architecture, Building Design or Environmental Planing, just to name a few. ENVI-met is a three-dimensional microclimate model designed to simulate the surface-plant-air interactions in urban environment with a typical resolution down to 0.5 m in space and 1- 5 sec in time.

 +Depending on the context and content, ENVI-met produces either **binary files** or simple **ASCII text files**.  
 + 
 +By default, the binary files are written in the EDX/EDI format (see below). ENVI-met also supports NET CDF as output format if selected in the simulation configuration.  
 + 
 +The ASCII text files are written as CSV data containing a header line and are compatible with Python and Python modules such as Pandas.
