Transforming existing weather data for worldwide locations to enable energy and building performance simulation under future climates
TLDR
In this paper, an approach is presented for "morphing" existing EnergyPlus/ESP-r Weather (EPW) data with UK Met Office Hadley Centre general circulation model (GCM) predictions for a "medium-high" emissions scenario (A2).About:

Impacts of future weather data typology on building energy performance – Investigating long-term patterns of climate change and extreme weather conditions
TL;DR: It is concluded that only those weather files generated based on dynamical downscaling and that take into consideration both typical and extreme conditions are the most reliable for providing representative boundary conditions to test the energy robustness of buildings under future climate uncertainties.

Impact of climate change on heating and cooling energy demand in houses in Brazil
Andrea Invidiata,Enedir Ghisi +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the impact of climate change on thermal comfort conditions and on heating and cooling energy demand in dwellings in three cities in Brazil and found that the use of passive design strategies may reduce up to 50% the future annual cooling and heating energy consumption in houses in Brazil.
