Improving urban thermal risk models by burning in building details
ORNL scientists added 3D building features to a weather model of Washington, D.C., to create an accurate simulation of the building’s thermal impact on nearby neighborhoods during a heat wave. This study supports quantitative analysis of heat risk for at-risk populations.
