Modeling Energy Consumption: Insights into Electric Loadsand Heating/Cooling Requirements in Tehran Buildings

This study analyzes the energy consumption patternsin three Iranian cities: Kish, Yazd, and Sari, focusing on theirmonthly electricity loads and heating and cooling requirements. Thedata reveals that Sari exhibits the highest electricity load, peaking atapproximately ۷۰ kWh in July, driven by substantial coolingdemands due to its warm and humid climate. In contrast, Kish, whilerequiring significant cooling energy during the summer, shows amaximum cooling load of around ۶۰ MWh in July, with relativelystable energy consumption throughout the year. Yazd demonstratesa pronounced cooling load, reaching about ۵۰ MWh in July andAugust, but during the winter months Yazd's heating demandbecomes prominent, peaking at approximately ۵۰ MWh in January.Notably, Sari's heating load is the highest among the three cities,reaching around ۸۰ MWh in January, reflecting its colder winterclimate. The findings highlight the contrasting energy demands ofthese cities, emphasizing Kish's reliance on cooling energy and thesignificant heating requirements of Sari during the winter months.This analysis provides valuable insights for energy management andplanning, particularly in the context of climate-responsive buildingdesign and renewable energy integration.
