Short summary
We present a multilayer urban model, named MLUCM BEP+BEM, able to represent detailed urban geometry and vegetation, while simulating their interactions and feedback with the atmosphere. Its accuracy and low computational cost make it ideal for offline climate projections assessing urban impacts under various emission scenarios. Its features enable analysis of urban overheating, energy demand, thermal comfort, and evaluation of strategies like green/cool roofs and photovoltaic panels.
