Technologies compatible to climate change as a strategy in the field of architecture

Abstract

Temperature change is one of the most important factors for determining the effects of climate change in urban areas. In the coming years, the planet is going to become even more sensitive to climate change. For this reason, it is essential to find a technological answer to climate change for building design. The question arises: do such climate-compatible technologies already exist which can be used as a strategy for the design of resilient building envelopes? The aim of this research is to describe technology which is compatible with climate change when applied to buildings in urban areas. This study consists of the application of statistical analysis to design an evaluative technological matrix. The product was the verification of a hypothesis through a basic simulation in order to evaluate the technological processes which are compatible with climate change. This new model will be a very useful tool in the design stages of buildings because they take into account climate change in urban areas.
