Summary

Future weather data is essential for assessing the impacts of climate change on building performance. However, the building energy modeling community has been struggling with a lack of high-quality future weather datasets specifically designed for this purpose, leading to widespread misprocessing and misuse of the data. To address this issue, we provide an overview of the methodology used to create future weather data, including aspects such as emissions scenarios, general circulation models, downscaling techniques, and the various types of future weather data. Additionally, we introduce a dynamically downscaled future weather dataset developed by Argonne National Laboratory and showcase its superior qualities through a case study.
