Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
A measurement campaign was set up in Lausanne. The objective of this study is to define the importance of using local meteorological variables in the design of urban spaces and in the evaluation of building energy use. Urban simulation tools typically use average climatic data to calculate the convection coefficient, the building thermal balance and the pedestrian comfort. For this purpose, two simulation tools, a CFD model and CIM (Canopy Interface Model) are used to simulate the meteorological variables on the EPFL campus, Lausanne, Switzerland. The simulation results from the CFD model and the CIM are compared with the experimental data and both models provide trends that are in very good agreement with measurement. CIM can provide high resolution vertical profiles without significant computational resources and thus be used at an early stage in the design phase. The CFD should be used when a more precise local evaluation is needed.
