Weather files for fututre climate
Building energy simulation (BES) has become an essential tool in building energy systems’ design and optimization. Since most buildings are designed to last more than half a century, the building design phase should use BES with past and future weather files with hourly data to investigate the effect of climate change on buildings.
ABC 21 developed future weather files for 9 different locations in Europe and Africa, freely available to the worldwide building design community to be used in the design of resilient climate projects. These files are available in .epw extension and can be integrated to tools such as energy plus.
Typical Meteorological Year files, containing hourly data, were generated using the Morphing methodology for two future weather periods concerning the years 2050 & 2090. For more details about creating these weather files, check reports D3.4 and D3.6.
