Risks and adaptationClimate risks and adaptation actions6.6aPlease describe these current and/or anticipated impacts of climate change.4Impact description14Average annual temperatures have increased by 1-2°C in the south, and by 2-4°C in the north of the province between 1950-2010. As a result, energy requirements for heating have decreased by about 10%, but energy requirements for cooling are increasing in the extreme south-east of the province (Alberta Climate Records: https://abrecords.cfapps.io/). Per degree of additional global mean temperature increase, average increases of 2°C in winter and 1.5°C in summer are projected for Alberta (Alberta's Climate Future, 2018).

Also, energy requirements for heating have decreased by about 10%. (Alberta Climate Records: https://abrecords.cfapps.io/) Per degree of additional global mean temperature increase, a 2°C increase in average winter temperature is projected for Alberta, with a corresponding increase of about 3°C in the temperature of the coldest day of the year (Alberta's Climate Future, 2018).

The TDR is available on Infrastructure’s public website. o The TDR helps ensure consultants and contractors comply with government’s rules and regulations when delivering capital projects, and ensures rigorous standards. o Many organizations use the publicly-available TDR to deliver their own capital projects (e.g. municipalities, non-profit organizations, etc.). • Until now, there has been a gap in Infrastructure’s understanding of whether the TDR will hold up to future climate changes. o This study was conducted to expand Infrastructure’s understanding of whether the TDR will hold up to future climate changes (hotter weather, changing precipitation patterns, more frequent severe weather events like wildfires and flooding). o Overall, the study concluded that the TDR provides rigorous standards that ensure public buildings are efficient and resilient. • Several recommendations were provided to update the TDR to improve the resilience of Alberta Infrastructure building stock to climate change. o These recommendations include using a projected weather file for determining building energy needs, enhancing net-zero ready definitions and resources, and mitigating flood risk through a variety of measures. o Alberta Infrastructure staff will update the TDR to reflect these recommendations over the coming years.
