I'm posting to the BLDG SIM list today, hoping there are users out there
simulating microclimates! In past projects I have seen the research tool
ENVI-met used to simulate microclimates. Is anyone familiar with
commercially available or more user friendly tools for this purpose? Here is
what I am hoping to analyze:

- Atmosphere - Wind, Temperature
- Soil System - Water Bodies
- Vegetation - Vapor, Foliage Temperature
- Surfaces - Heat Transfer; Walls, Roofs, Ground
- Outdoor Street and Plaza Comfort - PMV values
