Een standaard methodiek daarvoor ontbreekt. DGBC werkt daarom in een brede alliantie van financiële instellingen, kennisinstituten, adviseurs en overheden aan een ‘framework for climate adaptive buildings’ waarin een eenduidige methodiek komt te staan voor het vaststellen van fysieke klimaatrisico’s op gebouwniveau.
Stappen
De methodiek wordt eerst op gebiedsniveau en daarna op gebouwniveau ontwikkeld. Momenteel wordt er gekeken naar de concept-methodiek voor het bepalen van klimaatrisico’s op gebiedsniveau. De planning is om uiterlijk in voorjaar 2023 de eerste proeve van het totale framework op te leveren. Tijdens de ontwikkeling wordt voortdurend getest of de methodiek in de ‘echte wereld’ bij concrete gebouwen tot plausibele resultaten leidt.

Framework Climate Adaptive Buildings
How do you determine the physical climate risks at the building level? For a specific building, how great is the risk of heat stress, subsidence due to drought, flooding as a result of heavy precipitation or even inundation? These are complex questions that are often answered differently, depending on the applied approach. Reporting on climate risks of existing properties is becoming more common, partly because of the EU Taxonomy. Standing still is no longer an option for building owners, housing corporations, investors, and governments. Acting on identified risks is urgent and necessary. But how do you identify these risks?
There is no standard methodology for assessing climate risk at the building level. DGBC is therefore working in a broad alliance of financial institutions, knowledge institutes, consultants, and governments on a 'framework for climate adaptive buildings', which will provide an unambiguous method for determining physical climate risks at the building level.
The framework consists of three modules: 1) A methodology for determining climate risk at the area level, 2) A methodology for determining climate risk at the building level, and 3) A methodology for identifying adaptation measures and including these measures into risk assessments. The draft methodology for determining climate risks at the area level is currently under review. In summary, this methodology uses publicly accessible data from the Dutch Climate Impact Atlas. Using national data sources creates the opportunity to obtain unambiguous climate risk scores at the area level across the country. This first module will be delivered in September 2022. Currently, the DGBC is exploring the opportunities for the second module. The planning is to deliver the first version of the overall framework by spring 2023. During the development period, it will be continuously tested whether the methodology leads to plausible results in the 'real world' with actual buildings as case studies.
