PUBLIC SUMMARY

PUBLIC SUMMARY
1. Boosting buildings’ energy thermal resilience amid compound climate change with gradual warming and frequent extreme weather.
  
  Hourly meteorological data reconstruction evolves from single climate feature extraction to coupled generation of long-term warming and short-term extreme signals.
  
  Compound climates exert cascading impacts: steady warming reduces safety margins, while sudden extremes cause sharp load spikes and equipment capacity limits.
  
  A multi-dimensional evaluation framework for thermal resilience is built, combining passive building design, active systems, static adaptability and dynamic emergency response.
  
  Hybrid thermal energy storage with coordinated control relieves long-term load drifts and short-term shocks; key research bottlenecks and future research paths are summarized.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT

Climate change exhibits compound evolutionary characteristics where long-term gradual warming superimposes with short-term high-frequency extreme weather events. Building energy supply and demand, especially HVAC systems, are highly constrained by meteorological boundaries. Therefore, enhancing building energy thermal resilience for compound climate evolution is a core scientific issue needing urgent breakthrough, and this paper conducts a comprehensive systematic review. First, it summarizes future hourly meteorological data reconstruction methods targeting multi-scale climate disturbances, identifying the inevitable trend from extracting singular climate features toward the unified coupled generation of long- and short-term climate signals. Second, it reveals the cascading impact mechanisms on both the supply and demand sides under compound climate disturbances, indicating that long-term warming persistently erodes system safety margins while short-term extreme events instantaneously trigger load surges and equipment output constraints. Furthermore, it clarifies the scientific connotation of building energy thermal resilience and establishes a multi-dimensional quantitative evaluation framework that integrates passive building defense with active system provision and balances long-term static adaptability with short-term dynamic response. Subsequently, it explores the physical support role of thermal energy storage technologies in mitigating long-term load shifts and resisting short-term shocks, emphasizing the critical value of constructing diversified hybrid energy storage architectures and holistic coordinated control strategies to overcome the physical bottlenecks of singular technologies. Ultimately, this paper distills the core bottlenecks confronting current research across various stages and prospects future cutting-edge evolutionary directions, aiming to provide theoretical frameworks and engineering practice references for constructing highly resilient building energy systems.
