Climate Change – Impact on Building Design and Energy – Final Report 2020

Date

Topic

Buildings
Commercial buildings
Energy use
Heating and cooling

Research has shown that current industry standard weather files for building simulation may not be suited to the assessment of the potential impacts of a changing climate, in particular summer overheating risks.

To examine this issue, consultants DeltaQ were commissioned to explore future climate risk in building energy modelling, and to put forward recommendations for improvements to Australia’s National Construction Code.  

This project was partially funded by the COAG Energy Council - supporting the National Energy Productivity Plan’s measures to increase energy productivity and to advance the National Construction Code.
