The current development in building energy efficiency towards nZEB buildings represents a number of new challenges to design and construction. One of these major challenges is the increased need for cooling in these highly insulated and airtight buildings, which is not only present in the summer period but also in the shoulder seasons and in offices even in midwinter. Resilient ventilative cooling can be an energy efficient solution to address this cooling challenge in buildings.

The EIA EBC Annex 80 Resilient Cooling program has focused on bringing together and extending the knowledge on the resilience of buildings to overheating (Holzer, 2024). In the context of the Annex 80 Resilient Cooling program a research project, Recover++, has been setup to define a new resilience indicator, based on the properties and behaviour of real-world building projects under extreme climatological condition and shocks, as heatwaves under current and future weather conditions.

The challenges posed by climate change and related thermal discomfort in school classrooms are a worldwide challenge. Recent research indicates that numerous low energy school buildings do not comply with comfort criteria and suffer from overheating. This study aimed to determine when indoor air temperature conditions in classrooms were vulnerable to overheating risk. Secondly, quantify the contribution and correlation of outdoor air temperature and individual building features on the indoor air temperature in Irish low energy naturally ventilated schools.

This report documents all key performance indicators (KPI)s developed in the framework of Annex 80, relevant for the Annex 80 deliverables. Their application may be more precisely defined in the guidelines of specific task groups or Subtasks of Annex 80, e.g. in the simulation guideline or in the case study document.

The world is facing a rapid increase of cooling of buildings. This is driven by multiple factors, such as urbanization and densification, climate change, power shortage, and elevated comfort expectations as well as economic growth, especially in hot and densely populated regions of the world. The trend towards cooling seems inexorable. It is mandatory to guide this development towards sustainable solutions.
