Thoughts on the future of thermal comfort modelling

•Standardise occupancy profiles•Standardise internal gains•Realistic method of assessing window opening areas•Standardised window controls (within software)

•Maximum solar gain per window area.•Peak temperature•Consecutive no. of hours above a particular temperature•Not simply look at occupancy hours

•Prepare a ‘Climate Change Adaptation Strategy’
