Steps: (1) UAV photogrammetry to capture building geometry; (2) terrestrial laser scanning for architectural details; (3) parametric simplification in Rhino/Grasshopper; (4) computational domain and meshing; (5) coupled CFD–radiation setup to compute wind speed, mean radiant temperature (MRT) and UTCI; (6) rotation experiments of the model in 15° increments to cover all 24 orientations under identical boundary conditions.
