Occupant behaviour is a key factor in the energy consumption and performance of a building. However, it is difficult to model and simulate hence there is often a mismatch between the predicted and actual performance of a new or refurbished buildings

Building dynamics are key to summer overheating, plant sizing and ventilation strategies. Building designers need to consider the thermal mass of a building explicitly to understand fully a building’s response. Simulation programs readily show the

This paper examines the urban heat island intensity in detail in the city of Manchester, UK. An increasing intensity is found over time. The urban heat island intensity (UHII) data is examined in more detail giving relationships between weather param

The urban heat island, where the urban area air temperature is higher than the nearby rural or semi-rural air temperature reference site, is now hopefully well known. The urban heat island intensity is the actual urban air temperature minus the rural

The urban heat island intensity is the difference in temperature between a site close to the centre of a city and a site close to but outside the city (the rural site). The urban heat island intensity varies continuously throughout the day and is str

Extensive measurements of the urban heat island (UHI), where the urban areas stay warmer than rural areas, have been made for Manchester, over a year. From these adjustment factors have been derived for the new CIBSE Guide A, A2 External design data.

The sky view factor has been used as an indicator of the amount of sky that can be seen from the ground in an urban area. It was also found to be correlated to the formation of urban heat island effect. Sky view factors can be calculated by analysing

Climate change projections estimate a rise of approximately 3 °C by the 2080s for most of the UK (medium emissions scenario at 50% probability level, 1961–1990 baseline). Warming is a particular concern for urban areas due to urban densification a

As climate change predicts hotter summers and warmer winters in the next 100 years, buildings designed now as well as many existing buildings will need to cope with the future climate. The aim for building designers should be to provide buildings wit

Good building design aims to balance providing a comfortable internal environment for as much of the time as possible within a variety of constraints. An important factor is the expected weather, but in a changing climate this poses additional challe
