9 months ago \subsection*{February 8th, 2024} The meeting discussed the results of the .epw weather file from the UWG. The process will be to simulate several points in Gatech campus and run the points in parallel then map them into the geometry. After that, we validate the putputs with the existing time-series validation case on the Gatech campus. Also, we can compare and discuss whether temperatures around the airport are hotter or on the Gatech campus. The next steps are: \begin{enumerate} \item Compare diurnal averages of the existing weather file and the one generated from UWG \item List possible inputs for the UWG and examples of vegetation implementation \item How to add different surface materials \item How can we compare the building coverage and the existing inputs with respect with what \end{enumerate}
\subsection*{February 1st, 2024} The initial meeting focused on establishing the foundation of our project and devising a strategy. Initially, we brainstormed the idea of a collaborative simulation involving OpenFOAM, Python, Rhino, Grasshopper (GH), and EnergyPlus. This simulation aimed to illustrate the microclimate in a specific location visually. However, after discussion, we agreed to collectively explore the Urban Weather Generator and its outputs. The revised approach involves comprehending the outputs of the Urban Weather Generator and subsequently mapping these results in a specific area to visually depict the microclimate. A visual representation of our initial concept is presented in the attached flow chart. Flowchartvip.pdf
