Abstract
How to deploy passive building design strategy adaptive to climate change scenarios at urban neighbourhood level is currently not well understood. A microclimate change outdoor and indoor coupled simulation assessment framework for passive building adaptation design in an urban neighborhood context is proposed. Based on computational modelling, it was developed to investigate summer overheating and to apply to a passive design strategy in an existing green building case study, taking into account the seasonal conditions in 2012 and 2050 as projected by a current climate change scenario. Through a series of numerical modelling and prognostic visualization, the results from applying the framework show how building indoor thermal performance interacts with specific outdoor microclimates. This study shows the importance of outdoor and indoor coupled assessment at microclimate level to deploy passive design features to changing climate. © 2014 Published by Elsevier B.V.
