Integrating climate change into meteorological weather data for building energy simulation

Hourly test reference weather data in the changing climate of Finland for building energy simulations

Dynamic building energy simulations need hourly weather data as input. The same high temporal resolution is required for assessments of future heating and cooling energy demand. The data presented in this article concern current typical values and estimated future changes in outdoor air temperature, wind speed, relative humidity and global, diffuse and normal solar radiation components. Simulat...

Simulation Study of Building Envelope Performance Using Microclimatic Meteorological Data

To accurately calculate heat, air and moisture (HAM) transfer in building envelopes, appropriate boundary conditions need to be specified. A previous study by Salonvaara and Karagiozis showed that calculations of moisture content in brick cladding could differ up to thirty times in magnitude when using different weather data sources. This study aims to investigate the effect of using urban (dow...

Crime, Weather, and Climate Change

This paper estimates the impact of climate change on the prevalence of criminal activity in the United States. The analysis is based on a panel of monthly crime, temperature, and precipitation data for 2,972 U.S. counties over the 50-year period from 1960 to 2009. I identify the effect of weather on monthly crime by using a semi-parametric bin estimator and controlling for county-by-month and c...

Comparison of impact of climate change on building energy-saving design for two different climates; Metropolitans of Moscow and Tehran

In the present study, in order to monitor and project climate change impacts on model of the bioclimatic design, a comparative study was conducted between the Middle East and Eurasia as two different climates. This paper used the basic data from 1990 to 2010, and the CMIP5 climate models have been used to project the climate data (radiation, temperature, wind speed, and relative humidity) from ...
