Development of a Platform for Green Infrastructure Simulation and Optimization Fraunhofer Italia Research The integration of green infrastructure in urban environments requires reliable computational tools to analyse water retention, drainage, and hydrological interactions in green roofs and urban landscapes. This paper presents a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) platform designed for the simulation and calculation of green infrastructure. The platform includes a calculation engine for modelling hydrological processes, a 3D visualization tool for project configuration, and an AI-powered chatbot for user support. An hydrological simulation engine enables the modelling of water retention, runoff, and infiltration based on real-world climate data from Meteonorm (long-term) or block rains (DWD KOSTRA). The platform incorporates Building Information Modelling (BIM) through IFC import, facilitating seamless integration with architectural workflows. The 3D modelling interface allows users to configure vegetation layers, terrain modifications, and hydraulic components while receiving immediate feedback on changes. The platform was tested for accuracy and usability using empirical validation and user studies. Results indicate that the calculation engine aligns with expected hydrological performance, and the IFC import functionality supports interoperability with existing architectural data. | |
