Toward Assessing the Sensitivity of Buildings to Changes in Climate

Marilyne Andersen, Parag Rastogi, Sönke Frederik Horn

Substantial numbers of existing and new buildings are expected to survive long enough to experience perceptible shifts in climate ‘normals’ (averages). To predict a building's response to changes in typical weather, two inputs are required: weather data re ...
