Developers evaluate a multitude of data, but one of the greatest variables they face is the impacts of climate change. Energy models rely on historic data to predict energy performance and energy usage. And energy audits analyze historical data to estimate future energy savings. That historic data is giving way to forward-looking trends around increased climate risks like changes in precipitation, rising temperatures, severity and locations of hurricanes, and sea level rise. We will introduce concepts to support developers that are interested in implementing future-informed climate models in their strategy. This session addresses design strategies to respond to climate change rather than to prevent climate change. The session will include a comparison of modeled results based on historical weather data versus predicted climate data.
