AREP L’hypercube

Within AREP , the team made up of PhD’s, engineers and architects is commited to enable the computation of complex climatic phenomena in outdoor and semi-outdoor spaces. As most commercial softwares do not allow to properly characterize this typology of spaces, we use a coupling of different numerical methods, as well as intensive parallel computing methods.

This site has several purposes:

1. To provide the theoretical background needed to explain the physics of phenomena occurring in open and semi-open environments (e.g. railway stations and their urban surroundings): comfort, airflow, air quality, pollution, etc.
2. Share a selection of our references, both academic and projects to which the team has contributed,
3. Share recent developments, such as codes or web tools ,
4. Finally, a small Blog section.

New here? The expertise areas are organised by topic; tools groups our apps and scripts available openly; the blog covers our recent projects and publications.
