Abstract:
A recent paper, entitled "Climate change and Indigenous housing performance in Australia: A modelling study" [1], investigated the impacts of climate change on Australian remote and regional Indigenous housing and it highlighted the significant reform necessary to maintain habitable conditions and improve energy resilience. The associated data is reported in this article. This dataset contains annual energy data and hourly internal temperature of six architectural models under current and future climates. The dataset is provided in this article as supplementary files. This original dataset was generated with a whole building simulation approach and can provide insights on the thermal behaviour of current remote and regional Indigenous building stock in regard to global warming and climate resilience. These insights can be used to improve traditional design, construction and retrofit practices, as well as policies and regulation aimed at ensuring liveable and healthy indoor environments for residents of Indigenous housing. Further, this article includes simulation inputs and assumptions used for the analysis to allow robust expansion of the dataset.

Heating and Cooling Curves
For instance, the addition of heat raises the temperature of a solid; the amount of heat absorbed depends on the heat capacity of the solid (q = mcsolidΔT). According to thermochemistry, the relation between the amount of heat absorbed or released by a substance, q, and its...
