8 Preliminary results based on TMY 85% reduction of primary energy Can a TMY weather file (data from period of record ) be representative of current and future weather conditions? Will the retrofit design of today be robust against the climate change? Ref: Causone, Francesco; Moazami, Amin; Carlucci, Salvatore; Pagliano, Lorenzo; Pietrobon, Marco.

(Ref: IPCC 2007,WG1-AR4) To adjust current weather files to reflect climate change scenarios. A morphing technique is proposed by Belcher et al. (2005) and used by Jentsch et al. (2008) in the publicly available tool CCWorldWeatherGen (2009). The calculation principles of this tool are based on the A2 emission scenario and HadCM3 coupled model. Kunnskap for en bedre verden 9

13 Conclusion Designing a building for today, using only a weather file based on historical data from is not desirable and even acceptable. In future weather conditions a substantial shift from heating energy needs to cooling energy needs can be expected in building operations for a climate such as Milan, Italy. A design shift from static buildings into buildings that can respond and adapt to climate change is therefore required. it should also be considered that the applicability of the available comfort models nowadays to child care centres and kindergartens presents several limitations.
