Climatic Influences on Residential Energy Consumption
Abstract
dc:descriptionA new climatic index, applicable to the estimation of residential energy consumption, has been developed. The index is based on seasonal frequencies of upper-air (500-mb height) circulation patterns. Upper air circulation patterns are related to surface weather conditions, in that the movement of surface weather systems is governed (to some degree) by the direction of upper air winds. Thus, the frequency value is a surrogate, representing the occurrence of a surface weather environment, unlike many present climatic indices which are largely based on air temperature alone.
