Microclimate · Surface & energy · Wind · Daylight · Grid
CityDigitalTwin physically simulates how heat, wind, sun, building energy, and the power grid behave across a whole city — so architects, planners, and utilities can design cooler, healthier, more resilient places.
One platform, every scale
Most tools solve one slice of the urban climate problem. CityDigitalTwin couples them — microclimate, energy demand, and grid response in a single, physics-based model.
Heat-island mapping, air temperature, and thermal-comfort (UTCI) across every street and courtyard.
UTCI · MRT · Heat
Whole-city UBEM for heating, cooling, and HVAC loads — building by building, hour by hour.
UBEM · HVAC · Loads
Pedestrian wind comfort and safety, ventilation corridors, and gust risk around towers.
CFD · Pedestrian
Solar radiation, daylight, and shadow studies to place mass, glazing, and green roofs precisely.
Sun hours · Daylight · SVF
Track emissions and size PV, vegetation, and green infrastructure against real climate data.
CO₂e · PV · Green
An automatic, georeferenced digital twin — buildings, roads, trees, grass, and water — ready to simulate.
Context · Terrain · VegetationThe digital twin
Import terrain, buildings, and materials, then run coupled climate and energy physics on GPU. Explore results as heat maps, isotherms, and building-level metrics you can actually design against.
How it works
A workflow built for early-stage decisions — when changing the design still costs nothing.
Drop in a site or a whole district. Buildings, terrain, vegetation, and materials become a simulation-ready model in minutes.
Couple microclimate, building energy, and grid response in one GPU run — no separate tools, no hand-offs.
Read the heat, comfort, energy, and cost impact of each option and share a report your stakeholders understand.
Case study
“PGL's CityDigitalTwin provides an accessible way for urban planners to understand development options in terms of microclimate effects.”
