Infrared.city provides AI-powered climate simulations for urban planning and architectural design, delivering real-time microclimate analysis.

Infrared.city is an AI-powered climate simulation platform that transforms climate adaptation from expert consultations into instant, iterative intelligence. It delivers real-time wind, thermal comfort, solar, and heat stress analysis for evidence-based decisions in urban planning, architecture, and city development. The platform is designed to simplify sustainable design by providing insights without requiring specialist knowledge. The AI simulation engines automatically connect to local climate data and handle technical configurations, offering real-time results for design iteration and data-driven sustainability decisions. It integrates with common CAD and BIM plugins, or via a robust API, allowing direct connection to design tools for real-time feedback. The platform converts complex microclimate data into actionable design guidance, highlighting critical areas and providing automated reports for public spaces, masterplans, and building designs. Infrared.city's AI delivers simulation results in seconds, significantly faster than traditional CFD methods, with models trained on over 500,000 simulations from more than 100 cities worldwide, achieving over 90% accuracy. It can simulate various factors like wind comfort, solar radiation, thermal comfort (UTCI), heat stress, cold stress, daylight, and sky view factors, and allows testing interventions such as tree planting or cool surfaces.
