Abstract

The anthropogenic heat flux associated with energy consumption for heating buildings has a significant impact on the heat balance of urbanized areas and the intensity of the urban heat island. The energy consumption of the urban economy is highly dependent on meteorological conditions, as well as on their annual and daily trend and variations. This is especially true for the part of energy consumption that is spent on maintaining a comfortable indoor temperature. This article uses the OpenStreetMap open web mapping platform which allows one to make an inventory of anthropogenic heat fluxes by the difference between internal and external air temperatures and based on building codes and thermophysical properties of enclosing structures. A simple nonstationary energy balance model of the interaction of the urban boundary layer of the atmosphere with the urban canopy layer (UCL) containing anthropogenic heat sources is formulated.
