May 2024 Community Talks:
Angelos Chronis, CEO and co-founder of Infrared City, engages in a captivating conversation with Emanuele Naboni, a renowned expert in environmental design and simulation. Together, they delve into the pressing issues surrounding climate change, buildings, and urban environments, offering unique insights and innovative solutions.
Chronis and Naboni explore the disconnect between architects' design intuition and the technical analysis performed by simulation experts, emphasizing the need for tools that bridge this gap and enable climate-informed decision-making early in the design process. The conversation also touches on the global shift towards cooling as the dominant energy use in buildings, challenging conventional wisdom around topics such as courtyards, insulation, and greening.
The conversation underlines the need for a systemic, multi-variable approach to urban environmental simulation, as well as real-time simulation methods and interactive tools accessible to non-specialist stakeholders.
