Type of article: Article

Summary

Points out that the effects of climate and weather on building energy management are still largely overlooked in practice. The main reason for this is the lack of tools for translating meteorological conditions into energy requirements. Notes that the combined impact of temperature, solar radiation, wind and humidity on the energy balance of a building depends on the building itself: its design, orientation, HVAC system, mode of operation, maintenance, etc. Discusses different approaches to modelling this complex interplay. Reports recent developments in Sweden. Demonstrates the effect of solar radiation and wind. In addition, discusses the significance of local site condition.
