Abstract
Extreme weather events and the contamination of global environments caused by global warming are becoming severe. A lot of computer simulations for use in evaluating the function of building energy to reduce energy consumption in a building are being developed and supplied. It is essential to use standard meteorological data of each region for the evaluation of building energy using such computer simulations. This study analyzed the temperature trend over the 40 years (1996-2005) since the nation began the weather forecast and conducted comparative analysi.s on some kinds of standard meterological data currently being used. As for the nation's climatic change over the 40 years, its average temperature had risen about $1.7^{\circ}C$, and the number of cooling degree days had increased about 25 while that of heating degree days had decreased about 40. As a result of analyzing the 4 kinds of standard meteorological data currently being used, it was confirmed that there is a difference between the value of meteorological data for DOE being used unofficially and the other 3 values, and the remaining 2 data which was prepared based on Korea Meteorological Administration showed a value similar to that of standard meteorological data provided by Korea Solar Energy Society. It is pointed out as a problem that the meteorological data for DOE, the unofficial data currently being used, showed a distribution of temperatures lower than other meteorological data and the ommission of the amount of solar radiation.
