Indoor climatic conditions are strongly influenced by outdoor meteorological conditions. It is
thus expected that the combined effect of climate change and the urban heat island effect …

As a consequence of global climate change, a vicious circle of raising outdoor temperatures
and consequently increasing CO 2 emissions associated with raising energy demands for …

Recent years have witnessed growing concern about climate change's impact upon office
buildings' performance in regard to energy consumption and indoor thermal comfort. A …

Urban heat island effects are already known for decades to result in increased urban
outdoor temperatures as compared to the surrounding countryside. At the same time, recent …

As climate change will entail new conditions for the built environment, the thermal behaviour
of air-conditioned office buildings may also change. Using building computer simulations …

This paper investigates the impact of a climate change scenario on comfort and energy
performance in offices, in relation to the influence of building design and occupants. It …

This paper discusses and summarises a recent systematic study on the implication of global
warming on air conditioned office buildings in Australia. Four areas are covered, including …

The potential impacts of climate change on heating and cooling energy demand were
investigated by means of transient building energy simulations and hourly weather data …

Urban settings and climate change both impact on energy use and thermal comfort inside
buildings. This paper first presents a study of changes in energy demand in residential …

As climate change predicts hotter summers and warmer winters in the next 100 years,
buildings designed now as well as many existing buildings will need to cope with the future …
