WP1

In the UK, major changes in cooling demand are expected due to temperature rise. It is thus important to understand better how the cooling demand of different consumer types will be affected. In this WP, the evolving nature of cooling (and heating) needs in a warming world will be considered to elucidate how a local energy system should change to meet changing energy demands. Investigating this baseline for cooling in the UK represents key foundation work.
