Analysis of synthetic vs natural grass

1

Hello,

I’m trying to figure out the best way to run an outside analysis to measure the impact of replacing a sport field of natural grass with a synthetic grass.

I have two questions :

  • Do you know any standard values to simulate synthetic grass? I did not find any similar material in the opaque_material.json and that would be of a great help :slight_smile:
  • Is the UTCI the best way to evaluate this? Or the results won’t be noticeable?

If you have any suggestion on this I’d be happy to know! I have some knowledge in Ladybug Tools so I can work my way out, but I need some guidance on the best practices to dive in this topic.

Thanks,
