Abstract
To what extent will climate change increase the occurrence of summertime thermal discomfort, and to what extent will passive measures be able to improve thermal comfort? How effective will different approaches to comfort cooling be under the changing climate? What are the energy use implications of the various strategies?. Addresses these questions through dynamic thermal computer modelling of 13 case study buildings, chosen to provide a cross section of UK building types, including dwellings, schools and offices, and illustrate a range of different approaches to comfort cooling provision.
