Abstract
This report constitutes the EU-level technical guidance on adapting buildings to climate change. The guidance collects and synthesises existing methods, specifications, best practices and guidance for climate-resilient buildings into a document that can provide practical advice for professionals and be referenced or used in different EU policy documents. In particular, the first four chapters of the guidance presented here provide 1) an overview of existing EU-level policies and standards relating to adaptation in buildings, 2) a summary of the current state of structural design building standards at a European and national level, relating to climate resilience in buildings, 3) an overview of the main elements of climate vulnerability and risk assessment for buildings, as well as 4) the main building blocks of existing approaches used to rate resilience of buildings. A separate report, the Best practice guidance on adapting buildings to climate change, provides guidance on how to enhance the resilience of buildings, including by presenting practical solutions and case studies.
