“…The CP_OdU dataset contains hydrometeorological data sufficient to describe the future climate of Odesa, Ukraine. The dataset includes not only the temperature and precipitation commonly used in climate studies but also the Harris et al, 2023;Jenkins et al, 2023;Leone et al, 2022;Meixler et al, 2023;Pawluk De-Toledo et al, 2023;Zhou, 2023). Before using CP_OdU dataset, bias correction of climate model simulations can be needed prior to impact studies.…”

Climate change adaptation planning at the municipal level has become mandatory due to the increasing frequency of extreme weather and climate events. The availability of near‐future climate data is the first step towards creating an adaptation plan for a city. We created the CP_OdU (Climate Projections for Odesa, Ukraine) dataset, which contains daily output variables from the 102 model runs and monthly (yearly) indices calculated for 2021–2050 in the closest to Odesa land‐located model grid point. The future data are based on 26 and 76 simulations for the scenarios RCP4.5 and RCP8.5, respectively, of 14 RCMs from the EURO‐CORDEX project. The horizontal resolution of spatial grids in the RCMs is ~0.11° or ~12 km. The CP_OdU dataset contains 76 indices relating to cloudiness, wind parameters, relative humidity, precipitation amount, snow depth and temperature. A very short description of the near‐future climate in Odesa for the RCP8.5 scenario shows its trend towards a Mediterranean climate. The rising temperature supported by the change of intra‐annual variations of precipitation will result in hot, dry summers and mild, moderately wet winters. The CP_OdU dataset can be used by climate scientists, applied science engineers and climate stakeholders in society for the creation of a climate change adaptation plan for Odesa, Ukraine.

“…Additionally, previous studies have shown that global warming can significantly influence energy use and thermal comfort conditions in buildings [26][27][28][29]. According to Pajek and Košir [30], the overheating vulnerability of the building stock will have less impact on buildings that have energy-efficient strategies implemented.…”

“…The study has shown that there is a significant potential for passive cooling in a mild to a warm type of climate, such as Sydney [31]. Global warming's impacts on the energy performance of non-green buildings have been widely investigated in different climate zones [29,32]. However, its impacts on GBs have not been fully explored yet, and there exist limited studies that evaluate the performance of GBs in the future.…”

Green buildings (GBs) employ a wide range of passive and active energy-saving strategies to improve buildings’ energy performance. The suitability and performance of some of these strategies depend on outdoor climate conditions and may change over time due to global warming. Therefore, a GB may not retain its performance in the future. To address this issue and explore how much GB performance may be affected by climate change, this research aims to (1) evaluate the energy performance and thermal comfort of a GB and non-GB under present climate conditions; (2) predict the impact of climate change on these buildings, and (3) evaluate the climate resilience of a GB as opposed to a non-GB. To this end, a university GB and non-GB are simulated using DesignBuilder and calibrated with measured data. Future weather files based on Representative Concentration Pathways (RCPs) are used to predict climate conditions in the 2050s and 2090s. A comparison between the GB and non-GB revealed that the GB would save 15.1% and up to 21.9% of site energy under present and future climate conditions, respectively. It was also found that the thermal comfort level in the GB will remain significantly higher than in the non-GB in the future. The overheating issue in non-GBs will deteriorate in the future, with an increase of nearly 70% by the 2090s. The GB produces approximately 15% and up to 22% fewer GHG emissions than the non-GB under present and future climate conditions (RCP 8.5), respectively.

“…We see some literature characterizing resilience and energy efficiency as fundamentally conflicting objectives. For example, Zhou (2022) emphasizes that considering energy resilience and energy efficiency together often requires trade-off solutions between enhancing one and decreasing the other. A helpful explanation of this comes from optical networks research, in which (like power systems) energy efficiency prioritizes power minimization and resilience prioritizes the maximization of available resources (Ye et al 2015).…”

This document summarizes the current baseline of literature related to energy resilience metrics and valuation techniques. As this is a dynamic topic of research, however, this review necessarily provides a snapshot of current research as of mid 2023. This paper focuses on energy resilience; the rest of the document uses the term "resilience" as interdependent systems are a key consideration for resilience strategies. vii This report is available at no cost from the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) at www.nrel.gov/publications.
