Title

Cardiff Indoor

Abstract

Temperature and humidity within a dwelling are affected by outdoor climate conditions, and as outdoor temperature and humidity increase so too does the threat of indoor issues such as overheating and poor air quality. Results for each climate data grid within the town or city boundary is presented for maximum indoor temperature and relative humidity along with exceedance ratio of a 26°C overheating threshold and 60% relative humidity indoor air quality threshold for a six-week period between 22^nd July-31^st August. Results represent 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).
