The International Panel of Climate Change reported that there might be a continuous rise in the ambient temperature throughout the end of the 21st century. With a rising international worry about global warming, the construction sector is confronting the question of how forecasted changes in climate will affect the overall performance of buildings all over the world. This is resulting in a fast-growing field of study that concentrates on the adaptation and strength of buildings to a varying climate. Global warming can tremendously result on the overall energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions of residential buildings. Hence, climate adaptation must be effectively regarded both in design and operation phases to eliminate impact. This paper examines (or reviews) the connection between climate change and buildings and the growing body of knowledge on the issue, and also classifying and reviewing the contributions of other researcher. © 2012 IEEE. %D 2012 %R 10.1109/CHUSER.2012.6504345 %O cited By 3; Conference of 2012 IEEE Colloquium on Humanities, Science and Engineering Research, CHUSER 2012 ; Conference Date: 3 December 2012 Through 4 December 2012; Conference Code:96849 %J CHUSER 2012 - 2012 IEEE Colloquium on Humanities, Science and Engineering Research %L scholars2444 %C Kota Kinabalu, Sabah %T The repercussions linked with a changing macroclimate for green building %A U.A.
