A guide to using urban-scale Dragonfly models to morph EPW files to account for the Urban Heat Island (UHI) effect using the Urban Weather Generator (UWG) simulation engine.
The resulting urban EPW files can be used to assess the impact of UHI on building energy use, outdoor thermal comfort, and passive survivability.
