Since ENVI-met model areas use a Cartesian grid, it often makes sense to align the borders of a model area with the majority or the building outlines.

This rectangular polygon is then used as the border for the ENVI-met model area. Please note, that the edge between the first and second vertex of the polygon defines the lower x-axis of the ENVI-met model area. |
After selecting the sub area layer, the user can set the horizontal resolution of the model area. The resulting number of grids is calculated on the fly. Typical horizontal resolutions range from 2 meters to 10 meters. Please note that smaller number of grids will result in a faster microclimate simulation. | After selecting the sub area layer, the user can set the horizontal resolution of the model area.
