Évaluation de l’impact de la végétation sur le rayonnement énergétique (aide à la conception architecturale et urbanistique)

This methodology concerns all the “built space designers”, were they architects, town planners or others. Our major goal is to put up tools and methods that enable them to take advantage of the great specificities of vegetation, and especially its thermal specificities. Our composite representation affords a media for the concurrent analysis of the many interactions between vegetation and built space. This representation consists in the combination of a parametric with a geometric model. It is used for the evaluation of the impact of vegetation on solar radiation, according to its direct, diffuse and reflected components.
