A Simple Approach to Modeling Rural and Urban District Heating
If the UK wishes to decarbonize its heat supply, increased implementation of district heating is needed. Currently, district heating implementation is low, accounting for only 2% of the total UK heat supply.

Analysis of Cooling and Heating Degree Days over Mexico in Present and Future Climate
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 ...

Heating and Cooling Degree-Days Maps of Pakistan [PDF]
The building sector consumes about 40% of the world’s primary energy. Seasonal climatic conditions have a significant effect on the energy consumption in buildings. One of the famous methods used for decoding this seasonal variation in buildings energy consumption is the “Degree Days Method”.

Degree-Days: Growing, Heating, and Cooling
How much and when it rains, freezes, and thaws can make the difference between boom and bust for a year's crop. However, temperature can predict more than boom or bust. Atmospheric temperature can predict the growth rates of many plants. For this reason, growers use a concept called growing degree-days (GDD), sometimes called heat units.

Spatial-Temporal Changes and Associated Determinants of Global Heating Degree Days [PDF]
The heating degree days (HDDs) could indicate the climate impact on energy consumption and thermal environment conditions effectively during the winter season. Nevertheless, studies on the spatial-temporal changes in global HDDs and their determinants are scarce.

Spatio-temporal analysis of heating and cooling degree-days over Iran [PDF]
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.

Changes in the timing, length and heating degree days of the heating season in central heating zone of China [PDF]
AbstractClimate change affects the demand for energy consumption, especially for heating and cooling buildings. Using daily mean temperature (Tmean) data, this study analyzed the spatiotemporal changes of the starting date for heating (HS), ending date for heating (HE), length (HL) and heating degree day (HDD) of the heating season in central heating ...
