Abstract:
Very precise maps of anthropogenic heat in Tokyo were drawn with energy statistics and a very precise digital geographic land use data set at each grid point with the interval of 25m.These outputs characterize scenarios of anthropogenic heat emission and can be applied to a numerical simulation model of the local climate. The anthropogenic heat flux in central Tokyo exceeds 400 Wm-2 in the daytime and the maximum value is 1,590 Wm-2 in winter. The hot water supply in office and hotels contributes 51% of this 1,590 Wm-2. The anthropogenic heat flux from the household sector in the suburbs reaches about 30 Wm-2 at night. This CD-ROM demonstrates the annual and diurnal variations in Tokyo's anthropogenic heat.
