Climate change is making it necessary to use newer sources of weather data for proper design of HVAC&R equipment in buildings. In addition, estimations of weather for future conditions also are needed to evaluate resilience of building systems due to climate change. This seminar provides a talk focused on application of weather data properly to present conditions. It then turns to a case study that uses stochastic future weather conditions for an assessment for a resilience hub and microgrid.
