Urban morphology, including building typology and layout, has a significant influence on the built environment’s access to the sun, which impacts its energy exchange with the environment. This energy exchange is a strong factor in determining the comfort l ...
Substantial numbers of existing and new buildings are expected to survive long enough to experience perceptible shifts in climate ‘normals’ (averages). To predict a building's response to changes in typical weather, two inputs are required: weather data re ...
Simulating a building to predict its performance over the course of a full year requires an accurate representation of the stable and representative weather patterns of a location, i.e. a weather file. While weather file providers give due consideration to ...
