Question:


Imagine that you are involved in the design of a building which will be located in a sub-tropical location. The design brief suggests that the building should use so-called `green' technologies as much as possible.
You realize that computer modelling and simulation will be necessary to predict the future performance of the building, however there is no detailed climate data available for the site.

Discuss which outdoor climate parameters will probably be of particular interest for this building, and suggest practical solutions for the data problem.
