{"name": "SOLWEIG", "package_name": "solweig_qgis", "description": "Calculate Mean Radiant Temperature & UTCI thermal comfort using the SOLWEIG model.", "about": "SOLWEIG (Solar and Longwave Environmental Irradiance Geometry) is a high-performance urban microclimate model for calculating Mean Radiant Temperature and thermal comfort indices.\n\nFeatures:\n- Single timestep and timeseries Tmrt calculations\n- UTCI (Universal Thermal Climate Index) computation\n- PET (Physiological Equivalent Temperature) computation\n- Sky View Factor (SVF) preprocessing\n- EPW & SUEWS weather file import\n- Support for large rasters via tiled processing and GPU\n\nRequirements:\n- The SOLWEIG Python library must be installed separately.\n- The plugin will offer to install it automatically on first use.\n- To install manually, run this in the QGIS Python Console:\nimport pip; pip.main([\"install\", \"solweig\", \"--no-deps\"])\n\nDocumentation: https://umep-dev.github.io/solweig/\n\nThis plugin provides QGIS Processing algorithms that wrap the SOLWEIG Python library. This version of Solweig is currently in testing as a proof of concept for Rust + GPU + tiled processing to handle large rasters.\n\nAdapted from UMEP (Urban Multi-scale Environmental Predictor) by Fredrik Lindberg, Sue Grimmond, and contributors.
