Abstract

Provides a set of future weather years that enable building simulation models to be run under projected climate conditions for the UK over the century. Considers climate change scenarios and general issues surrounding adaptation. Describes current weather years, the process of generating climate change predictions. Covers scenarios on which future weather years are based and looks ahead to a new set of predictions. Discusses methods by which weather years can be derived from models’ projections and future developments’ potential outcome.
