What is it about?
This paper examines the uncertainty of different cooling output results in large office buildings, in different cities, with distinct climates, at annual and peak demand resolution. This paper also investigates the sensitivity of the different parameters for each result to quantify the key parameters for the cooling demand of buildings.

Why is it important?
The research provides insight into the potential uncertainty in annual cooling demand in buildings. For example, the quantification for peak demand can help in decision-making for the building cooling systems' capacity. It is relevant to explore the uncertainty of building modelling assumptions before using these models to explore cooling demand in future climate change scenarios.
Perspectives
The paper is my first journal publication, and it is the part of the foundational work on the office building modelling approach, which I developed on my PhD research work. The office building modelling approach developed was used to study climate change impacts on office buildings' cooling demand and the effects on the power network.
