Abstract

This paper examines building performance under extreme conditions by treating thermal resilience as a process-based and time-dependent property. Existing approaches remain fragmented: resentation, extreme event definition, resilience metrics, passive strategies, and energy systems are typically handled in isolation, leaving current methods with limited capacity to explain how buildings respond to prolonged disruptions such as heatwaves or power outages. The study offers a cross-domain synthesis of thermal resilience research, drawing together climate modelling, indoor thermal response, resilience metrics, passive design strategies, distributed energy systems, and regulatory constraints. Building on this synthesis, a trajectory-based framework is developed that links climate inputs, event definition, indoor thermal response, and performance metrics within a unified structure. This integration is extended into architectural design through a decision-oriented framework that interprets resilience as the outcome of a hierarchy of decisions structured by reversibility and operational dependence. Early design decisions define the constraints and the range of achievable performance within which subsequent optimisation occurs. Building performance emerges from the interaction of passive strategies and energy-supported systems under constrained conditions. The results establish that thermal resilience cannot be inferred from conventional indicators; it must be understood through the temporal evolution of indoor conditions. The proposed framework provides a consistent basis for linking resilience assessment with design decision-making, supporting a unified approach to resilience-oriented design.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
