A framework which evaluates buildings in the context of climate risks is
suggested for Turkey. The study is aimed to create a framework based on
literature which can assess climate change effects on building scale. The
framework has risk identification, risk analysis, risk assessment and
conclusion-recommendations steps. According to these steps, high
temperature and flood risks are critical for Turkey. In the method for risk
analysis step, these climate risks for buildings are assessed with a
qualitative method which is focused on a certain area with specific climatic
data. In the risk assessment step, the method is done with using a 5-point
Likert scale by taking expert opinion. After the results of risk score,
suggestions can be made in the recommendation/conclusion phase. In
conclusion, high temperature, flood and wildfire risk effects buildings’
energy demand, building parts, energy consumption, building materials
respectively. Since this proposed framework is a general framework, it
gives results that vary according to the climate data according to the
region/city/building. Regarding the potential risk scenarios, it was
understood that building design must be adapted to the climate change
effects and should have been evaluated by a climate-risk assessment
framework properly.
