This study is framed around two research questions to 1) investigate the probable changes in future climate and 2) evaluate the changes in cooling demand of a studied building when implementing an assemble climate representing mid-term future period (2041-2060). The chosen building is a preschool in central Sweden that fulfills the Nearly-Zero Energy Building (NZEB) requirements based on today’s Swedish National Building Regulations. To assess and cope with the present and future cooling energy needs of the building, a climate file representing present conditions along with a projected future typical climate file are utilized. The future climate is an assembled typical meteorological year climate file using the CORDEX data. 

The present climate file underpredicts the future energy demands therefore verifying to be unsuitable for anticipated energy analysis. It was discovered that the cooling demand for assembled climate file is almost 4 times the present climate file for the studied conditions.
