Northern Buildings in Changing Climate

What we do

Due to climate change, the shifts between cold and mild during winter will become more frequent, winds will most likely become stronger and flawy, and the rainfall will increase. In addition, air humidity will increase. The combination of increased wind and rain may cause extra exposure of moisture/humidity to buildings.

Innovative Sustainable Living in the North

Buildings enclosed by greenhouses, shielded from the harsh northern climate, open up new avenues for sustainable living.

Northern Buildings in Changing Climate

NoBiCC wants to investigate the influence of this changes from Greenland with the arctic climate, to Island and Norway with costal climate and Sweden and Finland with inland climate in the north, because ambient conditions play an important role in the energy efficiency of buildings. The effect of changing ambient conditions on the surface of various building wall structures will be studied using wind behaviour simulations to identify which locations in different shape of buildings are the most probable targets to extra moisture load. The project will lead to the next generation buildings and architectural designs for climate smart future.

Our objectives

The overall objective of the project is to provide recommendations and guidelines for sustainable climate change adaptation for existing and future buildings located in different climatical zones in the arctic and subarctic areas.

UN Sustainable Development Goals

Our project actively supports the UN Sustainable Development Goals, integrating global priorities into local action.
