Estimation of Heating Energy Use of Existing Houses in a Future Climate: 2050 Vs 2007
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents a method for the estimation of potential impact of climate change on the heating energy use of existing houses. The proposed method uses the house energy signature, which is developed from the current heating energy use extracted from the utility bills (e.g., for year 2007) and corresponding climatic conditions. The energy signature, which is an energy-related characteristic of the house, is used along with the outdoor air temperature predicted for 2040-2069 to forecast the heating energy use. The potential impact of climate change is estimated as the percentage of variation of heating energy use in the future compared with the current situation.

This present research work was carried out to evaluate the energy consumption in a typical Iranian building based on the forecast of climatic variables. Thus, the LARS-WG model was validated for some northwest stations of Iran, including Tabriz, Ardebil, Oromieh, Kermanshah, Hamedan, Sannandaj, Qazvin, and Zanjan. The average monthly outdoor temperature was forecasted from 2011 to 2100. The rel...

متن کاملA multi-paradigm framework to assess the impacts of climate change on end-use energy demand
Projecting the long-term trends in energy demand is an increasingly complex endeavor due to the uncertain emerging changes in factors such as climate and policy. The existing energy-economy paradigms used to characterize the long-term trends in the energy sector do not adequately account for climate variability and change. In this paper, we propose a multi-paradigm framework for estimating the ...
