“…Domestic and non‐domestic energy consumption patterns are different (e.g. Ichinose et al , 1999; Dhakal et al , 2003, 2004; Hamilton et al , 2009), so in future versions business districts within a city could be located and separate cycles applied. Diurnal cycles can differ between summer and winter, as noted by Sailor and Lu (2004) where morning and evening energy peaks occurred only in the winter when lighting was required, or between countries due to economic reasons, such as the higher energy use recorded in Toulouse in the evening when it was cheaper (Pigeon et al , 2007).…”

ABSTRACT:The large scale urban consumption of energy (LUCY) model simulates all components of anthropogenic heat flux (Q F ) from the global to individual city scale at 2.5 × 2.5 arc-minute resolution. This includes a database of different working patterns and public holidays, vehicle use and energy consumption in each country. The databases can be edited to include specific diurnal and seasonal vehicle and energy consumption patterns, local holidays and flows of people within a city. If better information about individual cities is available within this (open-source) database, then the accuracy of this model can only improve, to provide the community data from global-scale climate modelling or the individual city scale in the future. The results show that Q F varied widely through the year, through the day, between countries and urban areas. An assessment of the heat emissions estimated revealed that they are reasonably close to those produced by a global model and a number of small-scale city models, so results from LUCY can be used with a degree of confidence. From LUCY, the global mean urban Q F has a diurnal range of 0.7-3.6 W m −2 , and is greater on weekdays than weekends. The heat release from building is the largest contributor (89-96%), to heat emissions globally. Differences between months are greatest in the middle of the day (up to 1 W m −2 at 1 pm). December to February, the coldest months in the Northern Hemisphere, have the highest heat emissions. July and August are at the higher end. The least Q F is emitted in May. The highest individual grid cell heat fluxes in urban areas were located in

“…The diurnal variation in heat discharge varies based on building type, type of heating and cooling system, location of air-conditioners in the building, and external air temperature (Dhakal et al, 2003, Dhakal et al, 2004, Sailor, 2011. Studies in Tokyo have found that most buildings store heat during the day, and release it in the late afternoon or evening, and thus methods that ignore the time lag would over-estimate the day time heat release, and underestimate night time heat release (Dhakal et al, 2003).…”

Anthropogenic heat release is a key component of the urban heat island. However, it is often excluded from studies of the urban heat island because reliable estimates are not available. This omission is important because anthropogenic heat can contribute up to 4ºC to the urban heat island, and increases heat stress to urban residents. The exclusion of anthropogenic heat means the urban heat island effect on temperatures may be under-estimated. Here we estimate anthropogenic heat for four Australian capital cities (Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide) to inform the management of the urban heat island in a changing climate. Anthropogenic heat release was calculated using 2011 population census data and an inventory of hourly traffic volume, building electricity and gas use. Melbourne had the highest annual daily average anthropogenic heat emissions, which reached 376 W/m 2 in the city centre during the daytime, while Brisbane's emissions were 261 W/m 2 and Sydney's were 256 W/m 2 . Adelaide had the lowest emissions, with a daily average of 39 W/m 2 in the city centre. Emissions varied within and among the four cities and decreased rapidly with distance from the city centre, to < 5 W/m 2 at 20 km from the city in Brisbane, and 15 km in Adelaide. The highest emissions were found in the city centres during working hours. The peak emissions reached in the centre of Melbourne are similar to the peak emissions in London and Tokyo, where anthropogenic heat is a large component of the urban heat island. This indicates that anthropogenic heat could be an important contributor to the urban heat island in Australian capital cities, and needs to be considered in climate adaptation studies. This is an important problem because climate change, combined with an ageing population and urban growth, could double the deaths from heatwaves in Australian cities over the next 40 years.
