Building design has traditionally assumed an unchanging climate. Various weather statistics are used for design calculations. These numbers are by definition fixed in an unchanging climate, but most will change if climate change is occurring. This requires a re-examination of the weather design criteria for buildings. Regular updating may be sufficient, but has the disadvantage of always being retrospective, and other approaches may be needed. Severe weather events and global temperature patterns are well documented, but little work has been done to look at the trends in climate statistics for building design. This paper presents trends in some key weather statistics used in building design over the period 1977–1999. Finally, some conclusions are drawn on the use of climate statistics for building design when climate change is occurring.
