###### Abstract
The following strategies were tested in the building components using thermal simulation analysis: (i) increased thermal resistance, (ii) changed thermal capacity, (iii) increased short-wave reflectivity (albedo), (iv) vegetation roofs, (v) solar shading, and (vi) additional natural ventilation. The increase in thermal resistance/ thermal capacity and short-wave reflectivity resulted in a higher and lower number of overheating hours, respectively. The application of a vegetated roof, the use the natural ventilation, and the addition of operable exterior solar shading produced a decrease in the number of overheating hours [8]. A study conducted in three different bioclimatic zones in Brazil (at Curitiba, Florianopolis, and Belem cities) accessed individual passive strategies, such as solar shading, low absorptance, and thermal insulation, to reduce energy consumption in a low-income house under the global warming effects. The aforementioned measures were able to reduce up to 50% of the future annual cooling and heating energy demand in houses, contributing to their sustainability [9]. In Guangdong Province, South China, the global warming impacts on multi-family residences were predicted in two edification typologies: one with lower thermal insulation (3.5 stars-building envelope) and the other with higher performance (5.5 stars-building envelope). The total heating and cooling energy demand of 3.5 and 5.5 star-buildings due to global warming are projected to increase 20% and 25% in the 2080s, respectively, despite their better insulation compared to the existing housing stock [10]. A medium-sized office building located in five US cities (Miami--FL, Phoenix--AZ, Los Angeles--CA, Washington--DC, and Akron--CO) was accessed under the climate change impacts. The adaptation measures focused on the operation heating, ventilation, and air conditioning system (HVAC), which included the adjustment of thermostat setpoints, the reduction of HVAC operation hours, the reduction of the variable air volume box minimum flow setting, and mixed-mode ventilation, strategies considered to neutralize the increased energy consumption in the research building. The mixed ventilation strategy proved to be an effective measure to reduce energy consumption, and thus mitigate the impacts of climate change in most research cities in the 2020s and 2050s scenarios [11]. Low-income housing located in the cities of Sao Paulo and Salvador, Brazil had its envelope improved with isolated and combined measures to face the impact of climate change. The most effective isolated adaptation measures to improve thermal performance and energy consumption were those related to lower solar absorptance of the walls, insulated roofs with lower solar absorptance, and shading to windows in all main rooms. For both cities, it was demonstrated that it is possible to obtain a good performance in the 2050 period, compared to the current climate, with the combination of isolated measures [12]. Practical measures were proposed to counterattack the impact of climate change on energy consumption in a house located at Cuiaba, a region of Tropical Savannah climate (Aw), Brazil. The house envelope was enhanced, elevating the building system's thermal resistance and reducing the solar absorptance. Despite the improvements, energy consumption is predicted to increase by 19.6% in the 2020s and 30.1% in the 2050s, compared to the base scenario [13]. A study quantified the application of an adaptive comfort control measure in mixed-mode office buildings in Cadiz, southern Spain. A daily setpoint temperature, based on the adaptive thermal comfort approach, was applied in a building to simulate the present and future conditions under climate change. Taking the current scenario as a reference, a 74.6% reduction in energy demand and a 59.7% drop in energy consumption was quantified when the adaptive comfort control was implemented in the model [14].
