Impacts of Outside Temperature Change in Düzce Province on Cooling Energy Demand and Global Warming

In this study, the last thirty-two year hourly outdoor temperature measurements are obtained for Düzce from the Ministry of Forestry and Water. and they are transferred to the Visual Basic program. By means of this the outdoor temperature distribution for identification of seasonal start and end and cooling degree hours (CDH) in the season are obtained according to different indoor medium ambient temperatures. In addition, the effect of the ambient temperature on the cooling energy demand in the uninsulated housing compounds is gained for Düzce province for the first time in the literature according to the global warming period years in the cooling period. According to the study results if the reference indoor temperature (RIT) is selected 30C smaller than basic temperature of 250C. i.e. 220C then the energy consumption by the cooling system is bound to increase by 59.2%, or if the selection is 20C higher than 250C. i.e. 270C. then the energy consumption by the cooling system is expected to decrease by 109.9%. Furthermore, in case of the annual average outdoor temperature increment by 1.780C leads to CPH increment each year by 28.593 PH, and at the end of thirty-two years CDH value might increase by 915 PH
