Publication: our wind-driven rain exposure indicator for urban environments 🌧️

Following work already presented at the [ CFGC ] conference in 2023, we are delighted to share the latest advances of our research on assessing wind-driven rain exposure in urban environments over long periods.

Our study, entitled:

Assessing long-term exposure to wind-driven rain in urban environments: A computational method

published in Urban Climate, introduces an innovative method that significantly reduces the number of numerical simulations required. This method has been rigorously validated in various urban contexts, both in terms of accuracy and operational cost.

We encourage you to consult the following summary sheet and the full article for more details.
