An efficient climate index for reflecting cooling energy consumption: Cooling degree days based on wet bulb temperature
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2021 at "Meteorological Applications"
DOI: 10.1002/met.2005
Abstract: Cooling energy consumption of buildings is not only used for decreasing temperature, but for dehumidification. Therefore, cooling degree day (CDD) based on only temperature is insufficient for estimating the cooling energy consumption in buildings. In… read more here.
