As summer heat events cause a further increase of load in buildings, the need for indoor overheating assessment by building performance simulations (BPS) planning is rising. Besides other boundary conditions, selection proper weather data known to significantly influence outcome evaluation. Our research pointed out that current standards do not consider including regional differences, urban climate effects or future sufficient way. We suggest new approach create sets an average present and based on meteorological from stations. Therefore, we define characteristic values as indicators. In addition, taken into account mapping outdoor temperature differences between areas surrounding countryside using Local Climate Zones. analyse developed four regions Germany comparing risk BPS exemplary building. The results show differs regions. It very low region Hamburg, moderate Dresden Potsdam highly critical Stuttgart. at least more than doubled if located city centre instead its surroundings conditions are applied. Furthermore, high night-time temperatures appear overheating. approaches first suggestions relevance BPS.
