Abstract
⺠We examine the concept of 'future-proofing' the energy performance of buildings. ⺠It reconciles sustainability issues, lifecycle thinking, risks and uncertainties. ⺠A knowledge map with axes and types of 'future-proofed' solutions is presented. ⺠The energy design process should adopt full lifecycle considerations. ⺠Design for flexibility, use of dynamic models and futures techniques are suggested.
