UnicamTools

UnicamTools is a comprehensive software suite developed to streamline climate analysis and urban comfort studies. Built upon the Ladybug Tools framework, it provides an accessible interface that simplifies complex environmental analysis workflows. The suite comprises four integrated tools: a statistical analyzer for identifying representative climate scenarios (White Tool), a weather data integrator (Green Tool), an urban heat island effect simulator utilizing MIT's Urban Weather Generator (Orange Tool), and a thermal comfort calculator incorporating shadow analysis, radiation studies, and Universal Thermal Climate Index (UTCI) assessments (Blue Tool). This toolset addresses the growing need for user-friendly environmental analysis software in urban planning and climate studies, reducing the technical barriers typically associated with such analyses. Developed within the CLICCHE Erasmus+ Project framework, UnicamTools represents a significant step towards democratizing access to sophisticated climate analysis tools while maintaining scientific rigour through established methodologies and validated calculation engines.
