Climate actions
Computer simulations for building construction
Objective
Incorporate adaptation into technical guidelines.Description
Adopt the necessary actions for incorporating environmental changes into guidelines.
When studying the impact of climate change and the consequent indoor environment, energy consumption and carbon emissions, it is possible to make computer simulations by historical weather data. Private sectors collaborating with public administrations could finance the identification of potentially dangerous areas.
New knowledge needs to be updated to the new probabilistic information and to incorporate risk-based decision making in the design of buildings.
Expected results
Buildings constructors will consider environmental change during future technical realizations.Result indicators
Carbon dioxide emission [tons]Energy consumption [kWh]
