On the impact of urban climate on the energy consumption of buildings
M. Santamouris,N. Papanikolaou,I. Livada,I. Koronakis,C. Georgakis,Athanassios A. Argiriou,D.N. Assimakopoulos +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors assess the impact of urban climate on the energy consumption of buildings and find that for the city of Athens, where the mean heat island intensity exceeds 10°C, the cooling load of urban buildings may be doubled, the peak electricity load for cooling purposes may be tripled especially for higher set point temperatures, while the minimum COP value of air conditioners may be decreased up to 25% because of the higher ambient temperatures.

Temperature and seasonality influences on Spanish electricity load
TL;DR: In this article, a transfer function intervention model is developed for forecasting daily electricity load from cooling and heating degree-days in Spain, and the influence of weather and seasonality is proved, and is significant even when the autoregressive effects and the dynamic specification of the temperature are taken into account.
