The construction of nearly zero-emission buildings in Europe and internationally has become mandatory by legislation. In parallel with these developments, the non-reversible increase ambient temperatures stresses buildings’ energy systems during summer months extreme temperatures, their severity varying according to local microclimate. These phenomena result an cooling loads. Thus, HVAC system’s performance needs more careful study, especially for residential sector wherever night effect is no longer capable releasing stress. present work, impact climate change on a building’s studied through simulations. future increases intensity duration heat waves assessed exploiting long-term forecasting capabilities transformer neural network model, trained existing meteorological data period 2007–2023.

Energy conservation measures (ECMs) are often chosen for their immediate benefits, such as suitability to past/current climate conditions and rapid economic returns. However, the longevity of these ECMs poses a risk becoming outdated or ineffective change alters very climatic parameters they were designed for. This paper provides insight into foresight required when selecting an ECM, focusing on its long-term viability under global warming. The discussed encompass passive strategies building envelope insulation window design, active systems like efficient HVAC heat pumps, renewable systems. need context-specific ECM selection tailored local climate, type, cost-effectiveness is highlighted. Major challenges barriers influencing widespread adoption warming addressed, including: 1) considering effectiveness in decision-making, effective initially may become disadvantageous future, vice versa; 2) adopting life cycle perspective both embodied operational impacts; 3) developing robust, resilient designs uncertainty; 4) potential strategy shifts, transitioning from cooling techniques Meanwhile, policy interventions through regular updates codes standards needed keep pace with evolving engage diverse stakeholders balance multiple objectives, including environmental, societal, human factors. Incorporating decision-making implementation paramount energy adaptation climate.

During both the preliminary design phase, when broad, overarching decisions about building's function and appearance are made, detailed construction plan level, material selection plays a crucial part in realizing 'Green Buildings' goal (when materials present on market chosen). Architects engineers responsible for making this option typically lack access to assessment tools aimed at assisting them of materials, despite fact that second factor is just as actual fulfillment 'greenness' standards. The environment being harmed by human activities such manufacturing, transportation, mining. Saving planet's natural resources has proven difficult scientists since doing so means lowering society's performance, development pace, standard living. We have gone long way creating might prevent more ecological damage slow depletion vital resources. notion "green buildings" based same idea. Increasing energy efficiency utilizing green or renewable rather than non-renewable key component construction, according perspective. In study, we discuss criteria should be used pick building materials.
