Abstract

With the Urban Heat Island Effect on the rise and 66% of the global population expected to live in the cities by 2050, new ways of building for this urban growth need to be researched. In this report the cooling effects of green and water structures on urban landscapes are examined. To realize this, we opted to recreate a 3D model of the chosen research area based on different
datasets. This can then be used in the simulation software ENVI-met to calculate the effect that these structures have on the microclimate. Firstly, we successfully made a 2D inventory based on the different components necessary to run the simulation.
Secondly, when converting from the 2D data to 3D data, errors occurred as regards to the tree and building datasets. Thirdly, the simulation failed due to a lack of interoperability between the datasets and softwares. Therefore, we are unable to answer the research question. However, after an in-depth assessment of the FAIRness of data, we conclude that by testing, failing and improving the
interoperability of datasets and softwares, we can change our perception of the data we collect and find new ways to store and visualize them.
