Investigation of Energy and Emission Change for House Heating with Context of Global Warming in Düzce/Turkey

In this study, the last thirty-two year meteorological data set obtained from the General Directorate of State Meteorology for the city of Düzce/Turkey was used. With this data set, thirty-two year outdoor temperature distributions were found for each month in the heating season. Based on the outside air temperature distributions, the values of the heating degree hour (HDH) of Düzce are calculated for each of the eleven different indoor ambient reference temperatures (18-28 °C). In this case, if the selected indoor ambient reference temperature is above or below 1-11 °C, the increase or decrease in the energy demand is calculated proportionally. In addition, considering the last thirty-two year period in the city, the change of HDH value according to years and the amount of global warming have been determined. This study is thought that users of heating systems in Düzce will be aware of the energy consumption for heating and global warming caused by environmental air pollution and will help academicians working in this field with industrialists producing heating systems
