Analysis of Cooling and Heating Degree Days over Mexico in Present and Future Climate
Atmosphere, 2021 One simple way to estimate the relationship between air temperature and the energy needed for heating and cooling is to use the concept of degree day. Cooling degree days (CDD) and heating degree days (HDD) are indicators of the energy required to reach ...

Variability and trends of heating degree‐days in Argentina [PDF]
International Journal of Climatology, 2012 AbstractThis study analyses heating degree‐days (HDDs) in Argentina during the period 1900–2008. Gridded temperature data provided by the University of Delaware were analysed to calculate monthly and annual cumulative HDDs. Mean, maximum and minimum values as well as the average duration of the heating season are used to characterize the mean features ...

What is the uncertainty in degree day projections due to different 2 calibration methodologies? [PDF]
, 2017 Degree-days are a temperature index used for understanding the impact of climate change. Different methods to deal with climate model biases, termed bias correction or more generally calibration, yield different projections of such indices, something not

Spatio-temporal analysis of heating and cooling degree-days over Iran [PDF]
Stochastic Environmental Research and Risk Assessment, 2021 Abstract Climate change affects the energy demand in different sectors of the society. To investigate this possible impact, in this research, temporal trends and change points in heating degree-days (HDD), cooling degree-days (CDD), and their simultaneous combination (HDD+CDD) were analysed for a 60-year period (1960-2019) in Iran.
