Summary

The climate is changing as evidenced by ASHRAE Research Project 1453, which recently updated the climate zones and design conditions in ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 169-2013, Climate Data for Building Design Standards. How will the changing climate impact building design and operation? For instance, is more cooling or heating capacity needed? What energy conservation technologies will be most effective in the future? At present, there are no standardized methods for estimating future climate impacts to building systems.
