The effect of the Athens heat island on air conditioning load

摘要: The effect of the summer heat island western part Greater Athens area on cooling energy and peak power is investigated using building estimating software DOE2.1.E [DOE2.1.E User's Guide, Lawrence Berkely Lab., CA, USA] measured values temperature other meteorological data at selected sites. A very large difference between in one hand eastern edge hand, evidenced for year 1997. shown to be smaller 1998 though, which was characterized by an exceptionally hot summer, apparently affected more than part. calculations made based typical without taking related effects into account are underestimate both consumption power.
