Influences of the greenhouse effect on energy demand and supply in Japan

Abstract: In warm climates energy demand for heating decreases but demand for air-conditioning increases. Since in middle or high latitudes primary energy for heating is much larger than that for air-conditioning, total energy demand should decrease. Therefore in advanced countries global warming should reduce energy demand and could ease the energy problem. Comparisons of energy consumption for houses in cities of different latitudes in Japan confirmed this hypothesis and results agree with those of previous studies in other advanced countries. However, a comparison of total energy consumption in Japan from 1980-1992 does not show this trend clearly, probably because temperature differences during this period were relatively small.
