-====== ENVI-met (Core Model) ====== 
  
 + [[https://www.envi-met.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/ENVI_MET-new-features-winter-release-2018.pdf |{{ :news:winter1819_332px.png }}]] 
  
-===== New Features ===== 
  
-ENVI-met V4 is completly new in large parts of the model environment and features. After about 6 years of development, there is a huge list of new features introduced in ENVI-met V4. In this feature list below, features only included in the **PROFESSIONAL** version will be marked with  "PROF". Features labled with "Expert" are available only in our laboratory version or additional modules. 
  
-For the full model architecture description, a model version feature matrix and details see [[intro:modelconept|ENVI-met Model Architecture]].+The new Winter-Release comes with a multitude of new features. For a first impression, click on the image above to view our release brochure. 
 +Below, you find a detailed list of the most important features.
  
-==== Model Geometry/ Model Features ==== +Note, that most of the features are only available in the full ENVI-met versions, not in BASIC.
-  * Full 3D model geometry allowing to design even complicated environments +
-  * Thin single walls as elements (PROF) +
-  * Wall and roof materials can be assigned individually to each wall or roof segment+
  
-==== General model features ==== 
-  * Calculation of solar access for ground surface and building walls (PROF) 
-  * Simple Forcing allows to force temperature and humidity profiles in 24 hourly values onto the model domain 
-  * Water Spray Evaporation (Water fountains, Mist disperser,...) (PROF) 
  
-==== Atmosphere ==== +==== New Applications  ==== 
-  * Improved calculation modules for all variables +  * **Monde**, the new vector based world editor with online integration of OpenStreetMap and OpenTopography (Beta) 
-  * Simple forcing of air temperature and humidity in 2m level (24 h cycle) +  * The new **ENVIGuide** assisting you in the generation of .SIMX simulation files  
-  * Full forcing of all variables including wind speed and direction for coupling with larger scale models (Expert) +  * **ForcingCreator** assisting you to generate files for the new full-forcing based on meassured data or EPW files  
-==== Vegetation ==== +  * Converter tool from EDX files into the **NetCDFformat** 
-  * 3D Vegetation, interpreting the tree/bush/... as an integrated 3D organism  +  * **Plug-in for Rhino Grasshopper/Ladybug** to create ENVI-met Area Input files and Simulation files and start ENVI-met from Grashopper
-  * 3D Root Model interacting with soi water model +
-  * Advanded water stress modelling +
-  * Plant stress and health analysis (Expert) +
-  * Wind and strom risk analysis (Expert) +
-  * Water catchment potential (Expert) +
-  * TreePass (Expert) +
-==== Soil-System ====+
  
-  * Depth of soil system increased down to -5m  
-  * Temperature exchange within the soil is full 3D in all layers now allowing to simulate lateral heat flows 
-  * 3D Plant root system allowing to calculate object based water access and extraction data 
  
-==== Buildings ==== +==== New Model features ==== 
-  * Facades and Roofs can consist of up to 3 different layers of material +  * New facade and roof greening model with detailed calculation of exchange processes at the plant and the substrate layer 
-  * Full prognostic calculation of wall temperatures (7 node model) (Output only PROF) +  * Full Forcing allows you integrate meassured data or data from larger-scale models into the ENVI-met simulation. All variables including wind and solar radition can be "forced" 
-  * Building zone model for estimating building indoor temperature (Output only PROF) +  * Buildings can have individual wall and roof materials and wall and roof greening  in ConceptDesign mode 
-  * Detailed dynamic data of microclimate along the building envelope (PROF)+  * The simulation files have a new format (.SIMX) with more options to control the model configuration 
 +  * The popular IVS method can now be executed in the memory which increases the calculation speed drastically. (A parallel version is up-to-come)
  
-==== Biometerology ==== 
  
-==== New Software Environment ====+==== Databasesystem and DBManager ==== 
 +  * The ENVI-met database system has been extended to 6-char IDs to allow a better organisation of IDs. The system will automatically convert old 2-char IDs 
 +  * The DBManager features a new tool to calculate pollutant emissions from car traffic based on standard emission factors 
 +  * 
  
-The software environment was completely redesigned to support all of the new features, especially those in 3D. +==== Vegetation model  ==== 
-All input can now be edited visually,  including the new database system. +  * The new TreeCalender allws a dynamical adjustment of the leaf area density of plants with respect to the month of the year to simulate seasonal effects  
-For details, refer to the [[apps:start|ENVI-met Applications Homepage]]+  * The user can set the solar transmissivity of leafs in order to better simulate the absorption of radiation and shadow casting 
 +  * The Tree database (Albero) has been re-structured (The old trees are still available) 
 + 
 +==== Re-worked applications  ==== 
 +  * SPACES have been re-designed to include the new features such as facade/roof greening or topography integration.
