Abstract

Thermal evaluation of building envelopes is useful to approach efficient solutions for energy savings. Meteorological parameters represent an important role for this analysis. Future climate scenarios are considered to study climate behavior to provide with design tools in order to obtain energy savings for heating and cooling thorough the years. The relevance of comparing parameters for finding the best solution in design are helpful to provide with solutions and make resilient housing. Mathematical tools are the bridge unifying weather data and the study of thermal envelope in buildings.
