Find out about new infrared.city features, updates from our community and hands-on guides for climate informed design decisions
QGIS is already part of many urban design workflows — site analysis, spatial data, mapping. The infrared.city plugin brings climate simulation into the same environment. Run wind, thermal comfort, and solar analyses on your buildings and public spaces, see results as map layers, and iterate without switching tools or waiting days for results.

This case study explores how tower massing shapes pedestrian wind comfort. By comparing five design scenarios in Hong Kong, real-time simulations highlight the balance between buildable area and comfort, guiding early-stage decisions with measurable insights.
Learn how to post-process wind simulation results from infrared.city. Follow step-by-step instructions to load your project, connect custom geometry, define wind speed thresholds, and visualize performance interactively.
