Australia’s buildings are designed and operated based on weather assumptions from the past, but what happens when those assumptions no longer hold? The NESP Climate Systems Hub Building for the Future project is tackling this challenge head-on, developing new future climate files that allow building simulation tools to model how structures will perform under the likely conditions of coming decades, including under extreme conditions such as heatwaves. This will help us to understand the implications of our future climate for building thermal comfort, energy use and peak demand. It represents a significant shift for the Australian building simulation industry, paving the way for more climate-resilient, efficient and future-ready design.
