altitude. All of these factors can affect a given climate and yet they operate on a scale so large that we don’t know their relative magnitude or even think of them as measurable phenomena. This session will introduce the Dragonfly plugin, which was built
to help understand these large-scale climate variations. Specifically, this session will show how to warp epw weather files to account for urban heat island - the condition where an urban area is a few degrees warmer than the surrounding rural area. Using
city geometry in Rhino, the Dragonfly plugin, and the Urban Weather Generator engine, we will alter an existing rural epw to account for the heat island of the city. The resulting files can be used for more accurate energy simulations and outdoor comfort analysis. They
can also help test strategies to optimize the heat island for greater outdoor comfort in developing cities. </span><br style="word-wrap:break-word; color:rgb(72,81,101); font-family:citrixsans-regular,HelveticaNeueW01-45Ligh,"Helvetica Neue",Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; font-size:14px; letter-spacing:-0.3px">
