Influence of climate change on air-conditioning load in Chinese residential buildings

Research output: Journal article publicationJournal articleAcademic researchpeer-review

Abstract

The ambient temperature has been changing significantly in recent years due to global warming and urbanization. Solar radiation and other meteorological elements are also changing with the rapid industrialization in China. The influence of climate change on residential energy consumption in China, however, is not well known. In this paper, using historical weather observations and heating/cooling load models developed by the authors in the previous studies, heating and cooling loads in residential buildings in 10 Chinese cities were analyzed.
