Short summary

Thermal emissions or anthropogenic heat fluxes (Q_F) from human activities impact the local- and larger-scale urban climate. DASH considers both urban form and function in simulating Q_F by use of an agent-based structure that includes behavioural characteristics of city populations. This allows social practices to drive the calculation of Q_F as occupants move, varying by day type, demographic, location, activity, and socio-economic factors and in response to environmental conditions.
