This article provides the first comprehensive assessment of methods for the creation of
weather variables for use in building simulation. We undertake a critical analysis of the …

Overheating in built environments during climate extreme heat events is a major concern to
human health, particularly for people vulnerable to prolonged exposure to heat and …

The inappropriate processing and utilization of future weather data in building and energy
modeling are more common and serious than people think. This paper provides a …

When assessing a buildings' performance under overheating conditions there is a need to
identify extreme hot years (EHYs) for a given climate location. Different types of EHYs can be …

Overheating in buildings arising from climatic extreme heat events has been identified as a
health concern to vulnerable occupants. However, there have been very limited studies to …

The present study aims to identify climate-responsive solutions used in traditional dwellings
of Bushehr, a city in south west of Iran, and analyze the effects of these solutions in thermal …

The global climate change has resulted in not only warmer climate conditions but also more
frequent extreme weather events, such as heat waves. However, the impact of heat waves …

As the 2003 Paris heatwave showed, elevated temperatures in buildings can cause
thousands of deaths. This makes the assessment of overheating risk a critical exercise …

The analysis of building energy performance resilience requires also the assessment of
energy needs under untypical boundary conditions. This implies the adoption of reference …

The effectiveness of climate change impact assessments and the development of adaptation
strategies depend on the availability of high-quality future weather data. However, significant …
