IBPSA Australasia 2018 Sydney: Weather Data: Past, Present, and Future

Overview

Dr Lisa Guan will share her experience in preparing future weather data to study the impact of climate change on buildings. Ben will discuss and compare different methods of generating future weather files, including the WeatherShift tool, which uses data from global climate change modelling to produce EPW weather files adjusted for changing climate conditions.

Outcomes

Participants will gain understanding on the process to prepare future weather files, available methods in the industry, including factors to consider. These are fundamental skills for energy modellers to provide advice on future proofing buildings and reduce the impact of climate change to the energy efficiency performance of building.

Relevance

Our buildings need to start considering and adopting measures to mitigate the effect of climate change to their energy efficiency performance.
