About

ECOTEN is an engineering consultancy firm working on various aspects of built environment and its sustainability. Our activities range from the building scale to the city scale. We concentrate on urban comfort and the problem of urban heat islands. This problem is becoming urgent due to the global warming, causing more discomfort, health risk and power consumption. There are several development strategies which can be employed to mitigate the urban microclimate (such as adding water or vegetation, changing building and ground colours for lighter, using innovative material, etc.). But each neighborhood reacts differently to these strategies due to the complexities of physical phenomena involved. At ECOTEN, we have the solution to compare different urban development scenarios for a given neighborhood and find the more effective to reduce temperature during summer time and improve outdoor comfort.
