An interactive platform for ubran climate modeling, SCORE.CH focuses on the Universal Thermal Climate Index (UTCI) to analyze the climate comfort of urban space.

The calculations include:
1. Wind data (direction and speed)
2. Sunpath (vectors and direct sun hours)
3. MRT - mean radiant tempurture (shortwave solar)
4. Air temperature
5. Relative humidity

These calculations allow for real time scenario planning with different variables:
- What if we built new highrise buildings?
- What if we added more mass to the exsiting buildings?
- What if we planted more trees?

These scenarios can be explored and analysed, and their climate comfort implications can be utilized in research, planning, and policy.
