Campus-Klima: Analyse von Heat- und Coolspots für eine klimaangepasste Entwicklung

The design of the Hopla campus, both in the old and new parts, is frequently discussed and often referred to as a hotspot. The aim of this project is to create a transparent basis for evaluation and to identify both hotspots and coolspots.

As part of the project, a climate analysis of the microclimate on the campus of the University of Kassel will be carried out. The focus is on the investigation of heat and cold stress zones that affect the quality of stay and the bioclimatic resilience of the campus.

An urban climate model is being used to analyze the current state of the microclimate. The aim is to identify areas with an increased need for action, such as heat islands, which can be mitigated with suitable measures. At the same time, existing, bioclimatically favorable zones, so-called cool spots, are to be strengthened and specifically promoted.

The results of the analysis serve as a basis for climate-adapted campus development that sustainably improves the quality of stay and increases resilience to extreme climatic events.

Project day is on Tuesdays.
