Met.box (Meteorological dataset Based On Climate Change Scenario) is a set of future meteorological data that allows builders and architects to evaluate their projects through the lens of climate change mitigation, adaptation and resilience.
Data sets are based on climate change scenarios defined by the IPCC, which can be used to evaluate anything from energy consumption to the greenhouse gas emissions of a new or retrofitted new office building by 2050, or the resilience of a new block of flats faced with an extreme weather event.
