Historical and future weather data for dynamic building simulations in Belgium using the regional climate model MAR: typical and extreme meteorological year and heatwaves

[摘要] Increasing temperatures due to global warming will influencebuilding, heating, and cooling practices. Therefore, this data set aims toprovide formatted and adapted meteorological data for specific users whowork in building design, architecture, building energy managementsystems, modelling renewable energy conversion systems, or othersinterested in this kind of projected weather data. These meteorological dataare produced from the regional climate model MAR (ModèleAtmosphérique Régional in French) simulations. This regional model,adapted and validated over Belgium, is forced firstly, by the ERA5 reanalysis,which represents the closest climate to reality and secondly, by three Earth system models (ESMs) fromthe Sixth Coupled Model Intercomparison Project database, namely,BCC-CSM2-MR, MPI-ESM.1.2, and MIROC6. The main advantage of using the MARmodel is that the generated weather data have a high resolution (hourly dataand 5 km) and are spatially and temporally homogeneous. The generated weatherdata follow two protocols. On the one hand, the Typical Meteorological Year(TMY) and eXtreme Meteorological Year (XMY) files are generated largelyinspired by the method proposed by the standard ISO15927-4, allowing thereconstruction of typical and extreme years, while keeping a plausiblevariability of the meteorological data. On the other hand, the heatwaveevent (HWE) meteorological data are generated according to a method used todetect the heatwave events and to classify them according to three criteriaof the heatwave (the most intense, the longest duration, and the highesttemperature). All generated weather data are freely available on the openonline repository Zenodo ( https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.5606983 ,Doutreloup and Fettweis, 2021) and these data are produced withinthe framework of the research project OCCuPANt( https://www.occupant.uliege.be/ (last access: 24 June 2022)​​​​​​​ – ULiège).
