abstract = {In the current context of the climate crisis, it is essential to design buildings that can cope
with climate dynamics throughout their life cycle. It will ensure the development of sustainable and
resilient building stock. Thus, this study’s primary objective has been to demonstrate that the current
climatic zones for buildings in peninsular Spain do not represent the current climatic reality and are
not adapted to climate change and the impact on the energy demand of buildings. For this reason,
the climatic zones of 7967 peninsular cities have been updated and adapted to the RCP 4.5 and RCP
8.5 scenarios by using the data measured in 77 meteorological reference stations. The results obtained
have shown that in more than 80% of the cities, buildings are designed and constructed according
to an obsolete climatic classification that does not take into account the current or future climatic
reality, which will significantly affect the thermal performance of a building and highlights the need
to review the climatic zoning in the country. The results obtained can be extrapolated to other regions.
The methodology defined in this work can be used as a reference, thus making an essential scientific
contribution in reflecting on current capacities and the possibilities of improving the building stock.},
