- Abstract
- Each component that makes up a building’s envelope is sensitive to a variety of climate stressors and as these stressors change so to do the anticipated lifespan for the fabric components. This change in degradation rate corresponds to a change in replacement cost over an assumed 20-year period. While not all building fabric components are vulnerable to all climate stressors, the percent change from baseline in replacement cost for those components which are vulnerable to a given climate stressor have been mapped. Climate stressors considered include increasing precipitation, increasing relative humidity, and increasing solar insolation. Data for each climate data grid within the town or city boundary is presented and represents the average year in the time period for the 50th percentile models out of the 12-model suite. Click on a grid to view the associated 95th percentile results. Time periods are 2030 (2021-2040) and 2070 (2061-2080).
