摘要: Energy use is one of the largest drivers climate change, but large share energy used for space heating and cooling also driven by change. Demand energy, particularly cooling, important long-range infrastructure planning. Urban areas represent a very small proportion total land, usually consume majority energy. In this work, statistical, top-down approaches are to model residential commercial urban demand changes in Indiana, state Midwest region USA, 2050 2080 under change scenarios RCP 4.5 8.5. By modeling we can project while placing it spatial perspective that missing from statewide estimates. Two time periods give an intuitive stamp temporal perspective. Results indicate Indiana’s northernmost cities expected show significantly increased due 2080. Indianapolis represents increasing over next 60 years. Transportation larger as declines scenarios.
