Abstract: Due to population increase and change in climate, energy demand and CO₂ emissions have risen. This study investigated the effects of climate and population change on energy demand in Turkey between periods of 1981-1998 and 2007-2019. In addition, CO₂ emissions based on heating and cooling degree-days were examined since CO₂ release with increased energy consumption is a major environmental impact that can contribute to climate change. The results showed that total heating degree-days decreased by 11.21% and total cooling degree-days increased by 38.98% due to climate change. The total product of population heating and cooling degree-days were increased by 14.42% from 1981-1998 to 2007-2009. CO₂ emissions from heating in 78 cities decreased, while CO₂ emissions from cooling in 77 cities increased. Results can be useful for planning future energy consumption in buildings as the climate changes.
