DESCRIPTION:*Talk 1#* Climate for architects and planners under the view p
 oint of human-biometeorology\n\n*Abstract:* Freiburg ́s city council bega
 n to update the city’s master plan and to adjust it for year 2020. Local
  climate and air pollution were considered in this scheme through the appl
 ication of a spatial urban climate analysis of the entire area. For the in
 tegral analysis and quantification all available methods and data were inc
 luded and integrated. The results of this analysis provide basic informati
 on about the consideration of important micro climate areas in the urban p
 lanning scheme. The present analysis builds furthermore the basis for futu
 re analyses of individual areas in the context of building applications an
 d climate change issues.\n\n*Talk 2#* Urban Microclimate: Why micro scale 
 models and not only measurements.\n\n*Abstract:* In order to analyze urban
  bioclimate and climate several input and output parameters are required. 
 For the quantification of thermal bioclimate assessment methods based on t
 he human energy balance builds the basis of all the known thermal indices.
  Some data and information can be obtained from measurement or simulated b
 y micro scale models. This information in combination with shade\, sunshin
 e duration\, wind speed and direction in simple and complex environments c
 an be derived by RayMan and SkyHelios model. The models are able not only 
 to calculate but also visualize climate and urban climate information base
 d on grid data and vector data. The information can be derived for differe
 nt spatial and temporal scales depending on the aim and the demands.\n\n*B
 io:* Our speaker is Professor Andreas Matzarakis. Matzarakis is the Chair 
 of Meteorology and Climatology\, Faculty of Environment and Natural Resour
 ces\, Albert-Ludwigs-University of Freiburg since 2006. His research is ma
 inly focused on urban climatology\, human-biometeorology\, tourism climato
 logy\, regional climatology\, forest meteorology and climate impact resear
 ch.  Since 1996 he chairs the commission on climate\, tourism and recreati
 on of the International Society of Biometeorology. He has developed  sever
 al models and tools in applied climatology and biometeorology i.e. RayMan 
 Model\, SkyHelios Model\, Climate Mapping Tool and CTIS (Climate-Tourism/T
 ransfer-Information-Scheme).
