Thermal comfort climate change and the environmental design of buildings in the United Kingdom
Language: English Series: Built Environment ; 33(1) 2007, 97-114(18)Publication details: 2007Subject(s): Summary: Examines what the likely impacts of climate change will be on thermal comfort levels in existing UK buildings and how viable passive adaptation options are under the current set of future climate change scenarios. Covers: the theoretical basis for thermal comfort and the standards used by building designers; climate scenario data; qualitative implications for thermal comfort in simple free running buildings; dynamic thermal modelling of three notional case study office buildings; and discussion and conclusions.
