-====== What's new in ENVI-met V4 ====== 
- 
-After about 6 years of developement, there is a huge list of new features introduced in ENVI-met V4. 
- 
- 
-===== New Features and changes ===== 
- 
-In this feature list below, features only included in the Professional or Expert version will be marked with "Prof" or "Expert" 
- 
-For the full model architecture description, a model version feature matrix and details see [[intro:modelconept|ENVI-met Model Architecture]]. 
- 
-==== Model Geometry/ Model Features ==== 
-  * Full 3D model geometry allowing to design even complicated environments 
-  * Thin single walls as elements (Prof) 
-  * Wall and roof materials can be assigned individually to each wall or roof segment 
- 
-==== General model features ==== 
-  * Calculation of solar access for ground surface and builing walls (Prof) 
-  * Simple Forcing allows to force temperature and humidity profils in 24 hourly values onto the model domain  
- 
-==== Atmosphere ==== 
-  * Improoved calculation modules for all variables 
-  * Simple forcing of air temperature and humidity in 2 m level (24 h cycle) 
-  * Full forcing of all variables including wind speed and direction for coupling with larger scale models (Expert) 
-==== Vegetation ==== 
-  * 3D Vegetation, interpreting the tree/bush/... as an integrated organism 
-  * 3D Root Model 
-  * Advanded water stress modelling 
-  * Plant stress and health analysis (Expert) 
-  * TreePass (Expert) 
-==== Soil-System ==== 
- 
-  * Depth of soil system increased down to -5m  
-  * Temperature exchange within the soil is full 3D in all layers now. 
- 
-==== Buildings ==== 
-  * Facades and Roofs can consist of up to 3 different layers of material 
-  * Full prognostic calculation of wall temperatures (7 node model) 
-  * Building zone model for estimating building indoor temperature (Output only Expert) 
-  * Detailed dynamic data of microclimate along the building envelope (Prof) 
- 
-==== Biometerology ==== 
- 
-==== New Software Environment ==== 
- 
-The software environment was completely redesigned to support all of the new features, especially those in 3D. 
-All input can now be edited visually,  including the new database system.
