Software download
The Göteborg Urban Climate Group has developed a number of different software which is freely available for download.
Most of the tools are available from of the Urban Multi-scale Environmental Predictor (UMEP), a comprehensive open source sensitive climate planning tool available as an plugin in QGIS.
Older tools
All older software are written in MATLAB programming language and make use of a runtime engine called MCR (MATLAB Complier Runtime), which makes it possible to run MATLAB applications outside the MATLAB environment. The MCR is deployed royaly-free and could be downloaded from here.
Older MCR-versions could be downloaded from
The Matlab Complier Runtime 7.13 (32-bit) download (166 Mb)
The Matlab Complier Runtime 7.16 (64-bit) download (423 Mb)
Some of the tools is compiled using a 32-bit MCR but most of the tools make use of a 64-bit version. Make sure that you install the correct version on your PC. Information is given for each separate tool.
