The Materials and Objects Library allows you to access the ENVI-met databases where users define and store physical and thermal properties of building materials, surfaces, vegetation, and objects. These entries are then used in simulations to accurately model heat transfer, radiation, and microclimate interactions.
You can access the different feature groups via the different tabs (1). You are able to access system database items aswell as your user- or projectdatabase items (2). Clicking on an item you can see their Database-ID, Name, Color aswell as its physical properties (3). You can edit the parameters by double clicking.
To model soil profiles you need to double-click on the database item. A window will appear that allows you to see the existing soil materials and the soil profile(1). On the right hand side you can drag and drop building materials into the wall model on the left (2)
To model wall/roof constructions you need to double-click on the database item. A window will appear that allows you to see the existing wall structure & materials (1).You can edit the width of the different wall elements to your liking (2). On the right hand side you can drag and drop building materials into the wall model on the left (3).
To model greenings you need to double-click on the database item. A window will appear that allows you to see the existing wall structure & materials (1).You can edit the width of the different wall elements to your liking (2). On the right hand side you can drag and drop substrate materials into the greening model in the center (3). On the left hand side you can drag and drop plants into the greening model in the center. You can change the Greening properties (4) as well as the substrate properties (5)
The traffic toolbox allows you to create an emission profile for your street section. You can select the hourly distribution of the traffic (1). You can also edit the composition of the traffic (2) and the Emission factors (3). On the right hand side you can find the calculated emission profile (4). (5) lets you define a description of the traffic profile.
