Global climate change increases heat loads in urban areas causing health and productivity
risks for millions of people. Inhabitants in tropical and subtropical urban areas are at …

Climate is a major influence on residential energy demand and energy demand patterns. A
better understanding of the link between climate and energy demand responses is crucial to …

As the tropics and subtropics become increasingly urban, industrial and affluent, energy
demands for thermal comfort may evolve differently than they have historically across the …

This paper proposes a simple two-step estimation method (Climate Adaptive Response
Estimation-CARE) to estimate sectoral climate damage functions, which account for long-run …

This study simulates the impacts of higher temperatures resulting from anthropogenic
climate change on residential electricity consumption for California. Flexible temperature …

In deregulated electricity markets the independent system operator (ISO) oversees the
power system and manages the supply and demand balancing process. In a typical day the …

At present, air conditioning (AC) is the most effective means for the cooling of indoor space.
However, its increased global use is problematic for various reasons. This paper explores …

Whether it be long-term, like year-ahead, or short-term, such as hour-ahead or day-ahead,
forecasting of electricity demand is crucial for the success of deregulated electricity markets …

Forecasts of electricity demand are of central importance to policymakers and utilities for
purposes of adequately planning future investments in new generating capacity. Total …

The sensitivity of electricity consumption to air temperature and air humidity are effective
indicators in evaluating the impacts of countermeasures against urban heat islands. The …
