Digital Climate Indicators for Resilient Design: Examining Completeness Across Carbon and Climate Risk Analytics

Abstract: Digitalisation expanded access to design, operational and environmental data, yet whole carbon-life assessment and climate risk prediction still evolve in separate, non-interoperable workflows. This fragmentation limits climate-responsive design, especially for urban flooding and heat. The paper develops a conceptual framework for digital climate indicators that link carbon performance with predictive flood and urban heat analytics. Using a structured review of recent work on BIM-integrated life cycle assessment, digital twins, machine-learning-based hazard modelling and resilience assessment, it derives key information requirements and illustrates their application. The contribution is a set of indicator families and research directions for robust, portable climate-resilience metrics
