Although there has been increasing attention within the HVAC Industry about Climate Change, opinions are still divided on the appropriate response. Some focus on resiliency during more extreme climate events, and others on improving building
energy efficiency to counteract the gradual increase in global temperatures. Although there's general agreement that buildings should be designed with the future weather in mind, design practices still rely on historical weather data from the past.

As part of an effort in updating the reference weather files used by the CEC for Title-24 calculations and the CPUC for their utility incentive programs, Joe analyzed the trends in
California's weather conditions over the past 20 years and worked to incorporate them in the standard weather files and design conditions. The presenter will also share his
experiences in creating future year weather files combining historical weather data with projected future weather from global climate models.

Speaker:
Joe Huang
President, White Box Technologies

Joe Huang is the president of White Box Technologies (est. 2007) after working at Lawrence Berkley National Laboratory for 26 years. Joe helped develop the EnergyPlus building energy simulation program, and used simulations to evaluate new building technologies and building energy standards around the world. Joe continues to work on weather data, and large data sets of typical year" weather for ASHRAE (American Society for Heating, Refrigeration, and Air-Conditioning Engineers) and the CEC (California Energy Commission). Joe has completed many projects studying the potential impacts of Climate Change on building energy use in California.
