Outdoor temperature, heating and cooling degree days, sunshine hours, rainfall, humidity and wind are highly determinant of energy demand ( [[#Tol--2012|Tol et al. 2012]] ; [[#Rosenberg--2014|Rosenberg 2014]] ; [[#Harold--2015|Harold et al. 2015]] ; [[#Risch--2017|Risch and Salmon 2017]] ; [[#Lindberg--2019|Lindberg et al. 2019]] ). Density, compacity, and spatial effects define the surrounding environment and urban microclimate. Urban residents usually have a relatively affluent lifestyle, but use less energy for heating ( [[#Niu--2012|Niu et al. 2012]] ; [[#Huang--2015|Huang 2015]] ; [[#Rafiee--2019|Rafiee et al. 2019]] ; [[#Ayoub--2019|Ayoub 2019]] ; [[#Oh--2019|Oh and Kim 2019]] ). Urbanisation is discussed in Chapter 8.

Climate variability and extreme events may drastically increase peak and annual energy consumption ( [[#Hong--2013|Hong et al. 2013]] ; [[#Cui--2017|Cui et al. 2017]] ; [[#Mashhoodi--2019|Mashhoodi et al. 2019]] ). Climate change effects on future demand and emissions, are discussed in [[#9.7|Section 9.7]] , and effects of temperature on health and productivity, in [[#9.8|Section 9.8]] .
