The effect of tree material as an context on outdoor thermal comfort

Hi,
Dear Community
I investigated the impact of tree canopy material on outdoor thermal comfort (UTCI).
But according to the Fig, the tree is considered only as a shade and does not show the effect of the material on the surrounding environment.
What is the solution?

Hey @farnoosh ,

I recommend using the LBT plugin for detailed thermal comfort mapping since the simulation workflows there are a big improvement over the thermal mapping workflows in legacy. The effect of the tree shade on the surrounding surface temperatures is accounted for if you model the geometry as honeybee rooms. See this example file for the LBT plugin workflow
