Weather files and modelling overheating risk

This blog offers our thoughts on the impact of weather file selection on modelling domestic overheating risk. This is part of an ongoing discussion currently taking place regarding defining a complete methodology for predicting domestic overheating risk which factors in weather file selection, occupancy and gain profiles and setting the pass/fail thresholds. The weather […]
