Abstract

Building resilience to warming climate has been assessed via dynamic thermal simulation with future summer reference years, i.e. warmer than typical year. However, previous efforts on the creation of future summer reference years did not take account of heatwaves which was projected to be more frequent and intense in the future due to climate change. Different heatwave definitions were evaluated in terms of their impacts on the risk of heat-related deaths in non-air conditioned buildings. This study found out a heatwave criterion suitable for the creation of future Hot Event Years (HEYs) for use in building resilience assessment against deadly heatwaves. Building practitioners will find future HEYs useful in providing building adaptations to ensure safe indoor environment against changing climate.
