The Use of Envi-Met for the Assessment of Nature-Based Solutions’ Potential Benefits in Industrial Parks—A Case Study of Argales Industrial Park (Valladolid, Spain)

Urbanization causes major changes in environmental systems, including those related with radiation balances and other meteorological conditions because of surfaces the physical environment. In addition, cities generate specific microclimates as a consequence diverse within urban fabric. Industrial parks represent vast areas, often neglected, contributing to degradation environment, poor thermal comfort result soil sealing low albedo surfaces. Nature-Based Solutions (NBS) can promote mitigation anthropic effects urbanization using nature an inspiration. The present study, aimed at estimating microclimate fraction Argales industrial park city Valladolid (Spain), use ENVI-Met software, assesses current situation planned NBS scenario. Base scenario simulation results demonstrate different across simulations, higher temperatures on sun-exposed albedo, lower temperature spots, mostly associated shadowed areas near existent buildings. After scenario, show that, when compared base projected air reach reductions up 4.30 °C for locations where are from impervious shaded vicinity trees water body.
