Weather data for future climate change for South Korean building design: analysis for trends
According to the Fourth Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), climate change is already in progress around the world, and it is necessary to start mitigation and adaptation strategies for buildings in order to minimize adverse impacts. This article discusses the relevance of the recent IPCC Working Group III Report (Mitigation of Climate Change) for South Korea. The article then analyses future climate change trends for South Korea, employing the IPCC Special Report on Emissions Scenarios and the Hadley Centre climate change model data to predict temperature rises over this century. The results centre on two sites, Seoul and Ulsan, large cities in the north-west and south-east of the country, respectively. The climate trends are surprisingly different in magnitude. The results are discussed and degree-days for heating and cooling, the basic elements (temperature, solar irradiance, relative humidity and wind speed) for analysing building performance, are calculated.
