TLDR
In this paper, test reference years (TRYs) are required for energy analyses and design summer years (DSYs) for assessing natural ventilation in the sum-measure.Abstract:
With the increasing use of simulation for building design, test reference years (TRYs) are required for energy analyses and design summer years (DSYs) for assessing natural ventilation in the summe...read more

Climate change future proofing of buildings—Generation and assessment of building simulation weather files
TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe the integration of future UK climate scenarios into the widely used Typical Meteorological Year (TMY2) and EnergyPlus/ESP-r Weather (EPW) file formats and demonstrate the importance of climate change analysis through a case study example.

An investigation into future performance and overheating risks in Passivhaus dwellings
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigate whether Passivhaus dwellings will be able to provide high standards of thermal comfort in the future or whether they are inherently vulnerable to overheating risks.
Journal ArticleDOI
On the creation of future probabilistic design weather years from UKCP09
TL;DR: In this article, a method for the creation of future probabilistic reference years for use within thermal models is discussed, and a comparison is made with the current set of future weather years based on the UKCIP.

Thermal comfort standards, measured internal temperatures and thermal resilience to climate change of free-running buildings: A case-study of hospital wards
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors focus on internal temperatures during the day and at night in wards within the tower building at Addenbrooke's hospital, which has a hybrid ventilation strategy.

Development of weighting factors for climate variables for selecting the energy reference year according to the EN ISO 15927-4 standard
Targo Kalamees,Targo Kalamees,Kirsti Jylhä,Hanna Tietäväinen,Juha Jokisalo,Simo Ilomets,Reijo Hyvönen,Seppo Saku +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the EN ISO 15927-4 was modified by using monthly dependent weighting factors for the main climatic parameters in the calculation of heating and cooling energy demand in buildings, which may be used for many applications, such as the energy performance of buildings, the simulation of active or passive solar energy systems, HVAC system performance or indoor climate analyses.

Improved goodness-of-fit tests
J. M. Finkelstein,R. E. Schafer +1 more
TL;DR: Two statistics for testing goodness of fit for small sample sizes are provided in this article, which are closely related to the Kolmogorov-Smirnov statistic and are computationally equivalent.

Numerical Recipes Example Book FORTRAN
TL;DR: This is the revised and greatly expanded Second Edition of the hugely popular Numerical Recipes, with over 100 new routines (now well over 300 in all), plus upgraded versions of many of the original routines.
Simulation of building energy and indoor environmental quality - some weather data issues
TL;DR: In this paper, a building is a rather complicated dynamic system where many of the governing energy and mass transfer relationships are highly non-linear, and the authors focus on weather data as needed for computer simulation of buildings.
