Description
The data contains results of a study that analysed solar access metrics for urban planning purposes. The purpose was to evaluate metric correlations to find suitable simple indicators of solar performance that can be applied to assess urban designs.
The data contains inputs for creating the neighbourhood design iterations and metrics as outputs of simulations. Neighbourhood models were created using Rhino 7 and Grasshopper, while metrics were simulated using Grasshopper and Ladybug Tools.
The metrics are described in the review article: Czachura, A., Kanters, J., Gentile, N., & Wall, M. (2022). Solar Performance Metrics in Urban Planning : A Review and Taxonomy. In Buildings (No. 393; Vol. 12, Issue 4). https://doi.org/10.3390/buildings12040393
The model setup is described in the article: Czachura, Agnieszka, Niko Gentile, Jouri Kanters, and Maria Wall. 2022. "Identifying Potential Indicators of Neighbourhood Solar Access in Urban Planning" Buildings 12, no. 10: 1575. https://doi.org/10.3390/buildings12101575
The excel file comprises of five data sheets: two containing data descriptions

The excel file comprises of five data sheets: two containing data descriptions and three containing research data. The results are solar access metrics, which were used in a correlation study and other statistical analyses to determine their suitability for urban planning assessment purposes.
Sheet 1 'metric_descriptions': Description of metrics
Sheet 2 'headings': Description of headings
Sheet 3 'Iterations_Stockholm': Neighbourhood models generated in an iterative process using geometrical constraints were simulated to obtain multiple solar access metrics, assuming the Stockholm climate.
Sheet 4 'Iterations_Frankfurt': The same neighbourhood models generated in an iterative process using geometrical constraints were simulated to obtain multiple solar access metrics, assuming the Frankfurt climate.
Sheet 5 'Case-Studies_Frankfurt': Case studies of real neighbourhood designs from Malmö city were simulated to obtain multiple solar access metrics, assuming the Frankfurt climate. These metric datasets were used for validation purposes.
