Abstract

This paper investigates the needs and expectations of both planners and clients, identifying the main barriers to the implementation of climate adaptation software tools. It also seeks to identify the main issues on software compatibility and performance efficiency. This is achieved via the analysis of process maps produced in objective experiments with different climate adaptation tools implemented in a case study project—a sustainable neighbourhood in the city of Ulm, Germany. The ISO 25010 framework is implemented to investigate the advantages and disadvantages of these tools, including: functional suitability, information quality, reliability, performance efficiency, usability, and compatibility. The results show that current climate adaptation software tools are faced with some limitations, including a long simulation process, low interoperability with other planning software tools, and an inefficient implementation process.
