Computer simulation was used to test the impact of removing the existing Fig trees and implementing UHI mitigation strategies to enhance the microclimate performance. The computer simulations were based on ENVI-met simulation tool V5.5 Summer23. This is the most commonly used software for assessing the microclimate in the urban environment using the principles of fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, and atmospheric physics. It can simulate the flow around surfaces and objects such as buildings and plants and their interaction with the atmosphere and the existing weather conditions (Abuseif et al., 2021; Bruse & Fleer, 1998; Chen et al., 2020). ENVI-met is a scientific-based simulation tool, and previous studies have validated the model at the street level, finding a 20- 25% margin of error (Morakinyo, Kalani, et al., 2017; Morakinyo, Kong, et al., 2017). Therefore, it is considered a valid simulation tool to investigate the microclimate in the urban environment. The complete description of the algorithms and calculations the software performs can be found in Bruse (2004) and Bruse and Fleer (1998). The computational microclimate simulation included a scenario development for Brisbane Street, defining model parameters and performing the simulations. These are further explained next.
