“…Then, the hourly data from the AEMET stations were modified based on the monthly temperature deltas obtained. The modification of hourly temperature data has been carried out according to methodologies already presented in other scientific works [28,51,52], based on which it is possible to apply the "a shift" algorithm to modify baseline climate data, to modify hourly baseline climate temperature values by adding the projected monthly average difference for future years. For this purpose, Equations ( 3) and ( 4) [42] have been used to calculate HDD and CDD, respectively, in the future; where HDD d,Y and CDD d,Y -are daily values of HDD and CDD in the future; T i,2018 -temperature of measurements in i-hour of the day in the year 2018; ∆T j Y−2018 -delta of monthly temperatures in j-month between years in future (Y = 2055 and 2085) and baseline climate.…”

In the current context of the climate crisis, it is essential to design buildings that can cope with climate dynamics throughout their life cycle. It will ensure the development of sustainable and resilient building stock. Thus, this study’s primary objective has been to demonstrate that the current climatic zones for buildings in peninsular Spain do not represent the current climatic reality and are not adapted to climate change and the impact on the energy demand of buildings. For this reason, the climatic zones of 7967 peninsular cities have been updated and adapted to the RCP 4.5 and RCP 8.5 scenarios by using the data measured in 77 meteorological reference stations. The results obtained have shown that in more than 80% of the cities, buildings are designed and constructed according to an obsolete climatic classification that does not take into account the current or future climatic reality, which will significantly affect the thermal performance of a building and highlights the need to review the climatic zoning in the country. The results obtained can be extrapolated to other regions. The methodology defined in this work can be used as a reference, thus making an essential scientific contribution in reflecting on current capacities and the possibilities of improving the building stock.

“…It can be observed that in both cases, locations with warm climates were most sensitive to climate change impacts on building energy demand. For example, heat demand in the case study (Invidiata & Ghisi, 2016) for Curitiba and Florianopolis (Brazil), as well as in case study (Jiang, Zhu, Elsafty, & Tumeo, 2017) for multiple cities located in Florida (United States) decreased on average for 80% and 75%, respectively. Similar trends were obtained for other locations within the warm climates considered (please refer to Figure 1).…”

This review paper organizes and summarizes the literature regarding climate change impacts on future building energy demand. The approaches used for the creation of future weather climate and building renovation scenarios, as well as building energy modeling at different scales, are evaluated. In general, it can be concluded that future heating demand could decrease (7-52%), while cooling demand could increase significantly (up to 1050%). The decrease/increase rates varied significantly depending on the climate and case study building(s) considered, with buildings and building energy systems located in extreme climates being more sensitive to such changes. The main uncertainty of the predicted increase/decrease rates can be assigned to climate models and forecasted weather data. Nonetheless, such forecast and risk assessment are necessary for sustainable development of urban environment and associated energy systems. Further development of dynamic large-scale building energy simulation tools is required, along with the development of large-scale building renovation measures and strategies that take into account additional aspects (such as economic and societal). Moreover, continuous efforts are required in further climate models' improvement and uncertainty reduction.

“…There is incremental growth concerning about climate change and its effect on energy usage. Heating, air conditioning, and ventilation energy demand cover 34.8% of building energy consumption in the United States (Jiang et al 2017). Moreover, humidity has an essential impact on electric energy consumption.…”

The changing in climatic conditions is one of the most significant issues in the twenty-first century. The literature suggests various approaches for the understanding of the harmful influences of climate change. Climate change is caused by increases in atmospheric greenhouse gases, deforestation, altering watercourses and human actions with tragic effect on the environment has turned into certainty, as that the procedure may not be over in a short period or medium period. Climate observations showed that climate change occurrence had unfavorable impacts on society and mostly on built environment. The most vulnerable buildings are the historical buildings. The impact of climate change on historical buildings should be studied very carefully to determine the meteorological parameters and changes which are the most critical for the protection of the cultural heritage. Prediction of the effects of climate change on built cultural heritage for the next 100 years is necessary to take every step to protect the historical buildings that are likely to be worst affected by climate change effects. Against this background, this paper reviews the physical and chemical deteriorations of historical buildings and changing energy consumption of historic buildings. The research exposed the risk to lose cultural heritage and rising energy demand in the Northern part of Cyprus as a case study. Structural engineers and architects should consider the dominant forces of climate change to protect the historical buildings but also to construct sustainable, feasible and durable buildings for future projects.
