Urban microclimates are both complex and dynamic. Modelling urban microclimate can provide robust measures for analysing urban physical parameters including wind, temperature and solar radiation in complex urban areas at different scales; assessing outdoor thermal environments and performing parametric studies for successful urban planning and design of a liveable urban environment for citizens. This chapter introduces a robust and fast-running tool that can be used to simulate urban solar radiation, surface temperatures, and air temperature. A case study of the implementation of this tool is demonstrated.
