This interdisciplinary review organizes, summarizes and critically analyzes the literature
regarding the nexus between climate change and the built environment, its associated …

The body of literature on climate change impacts on building energy consumption is rising,
driven by the urgency to implement adaptation measures. Nevertheless, the multitude of …

Forecasting heat demand is necessary for production and operation planning of district
heating (DH) systems. In this study we first propose a simple regression model where the …

Global warming is widely recognized to affect the built environment in several ways. This
paper projects the current and future climate scenarios on a nearly zero-energy dwelling in …

Climate change projections for Finland have been calculated from simulations performed
with 28 recent-generation (CMIP5) global climate models. During the next few decades …

Energy consumption and thermal comfort in buildings are heavily affected by weather
conditions. This study investigated the impact of climate change on thermal comfort …

While it is evident that climate change will have an impact on the energy demand for heating
and cooling in buildings, the exact extent of this impact is not yet fully understood …

Higher availability of future climate data sets, generated by regional climate models (RCMs)
with fine temporal and spatial resolutions, improves and facilitates the impact assessment of …

Global climate change is changing meteorological parameters and climate zones for
building in different parts of the world, as well as changing energy consumption by …

Global warming acts to prolong thermal summers and shorten winters. In this work, future
changes in the lengths and timing of four thermal seasons in northern Europe, with threshold …
