Abstract | The cycling interaction between climate change and buildings is of dynamic nature. On one hand, buildings have contributed significantly to the process of human-induced climate change. On the other hand, climate change is also expected to impact on many aspects of buildings, including building design, construction, and operation. In this entry, these two aspects of knowledge are reviewed. The potential strategies of building design and operation to reduce the greenhouse gas emissions from buildings and to prepare the buildings to withstand a range of possible climate change scenarios are also discussed. |
