Abstract

As part of the formas project "Realistiska lokala klimattidsserier matchade till klimatpolitiska mål (t ex 1,5°C)" we are creating climate change scenarios to assess the the carbon-efficiency of building renovation options. Future scenarios will created by modifying present-day weather and climate datasets. Present-day climate datasets for the ELectricity INvestment (ELIN) model will be created by using GlobalEnergyGIS: https://github.com/niclasmattsson/GlobalEnergyGIS The GolbalEnergyGIS grids will be modified to represent future climates using CORDEX EU-11 grids from ESGF.
