Abstract

The instability induced by climate change requires the development of models and tools to predict and mitigate its impact on the performance of the built environment. This paper introduces a new tool for mapping the impact of climate change, both at the scale of individual buildings and at the territorial level. The tool enables professionals to study the effects of technological and design choices in the face of a dynamic climate, aiming to increase knowledge, assess potential risks, and support preventive actions to enhance resilience. The paper, derived from an H2020 research project co-funded by the EU, describes the developed methodology, focusing on climate data processing, and discusses some preliminary results.
