The Impact of Climate Change on the Energy Consumption of Passive Residential Buildings in the Yangtze River Delta

Abstract

With the global warming in the future, the meteorological data based on the Typical Meteorological Year (TMY) can no longer accurately reflect the changes in building energy consumption under future meteorological conditions. This paper selects the typical meteorological year (TMY) in the Yangtze River Delta region as the base year data and the monthly scale forecast data provided by the IPCC, and uses the “Morphing” method to predict hourly weather data in 2050 and 2080. The use of energy simulation software Energy Plus of the Yangtze River Delta region in a passive multi-storey residential building energy simulation, analysis of building energy performance under future climate change, projected changes passive residential building energy demand over the next 60 years of trend.
