Simulates microclimate and pedestrian thermal comfort at neighbourhood scale.

Dr Kevin Ng simulates microclimate and pedestrian thermal comfort at neighbourhood scale, predicting how a proposed building, plaza, or row of trees will feel to someone walking past on a hot afternoon. His models test design choices before a single brick is laid.

By making heat tangible at human scale, his work helps planners and architects design streets and public spaces that stay usable as the climate warms.
