 Welcome to ENVI-met, the holistic microclimate modelling system.
-ENVI-met 4 is the next generation of our high-resolution microclimate modelling system. After more than 6 years of development since the last release, ENVI-met 4 offers a huge set innovative and state-of-the-art approaches and new simulation modules to understand and quantify the interactions between your local environment and the outdoor microclimate. [[apps:envimet|Read more...]]
+ENVI-met is the state-of-the-Art  high-resolution microclimate modelling system.
 ENVI-met is a three-dimensional microclimate model designed to simulate the surface-plant-air interactions in urban environment with a typical resolution down to 0.5 m in space and 1- 5 sec in time. Typical areas of application are Architecture, Landscape Architecture, Building Design or Environmental Planing, just to name a few.

+It also covers all aspects concerning database management and the Workspace and Project management in ENVI-met.
+Depending on the context and content, ENVI-met produces either **binary files** or simple **ASCII text files**.
+By default, the binary files are written in the EDX/EDI format (see below). ENVI-met also supports NET CDF as output format if selected in the simulation configuration.
+The ASCII text files are written as CSV data containing a header line and are compatible with Python and Python modules such as Pandas.
