Use of climate change scenarios for building simulation : the CIBSE future weather years.

Climate change has become a reality and further and accelerating change is expected over the next few decades. It is likely that the UK will experience milder winters and hotter and more extreme summers. These changes will impact on building performance, particularly with regard to cooling and venti...
