Study on the Revision of HDD for 15 Main Cities of Korea

The purpose of this study is to revise the HDD(Heating Degree-Days) of main cities of Korea because the outside temperature rise have been accelerated by global warming recently. Now our HDD(Heating Degree-Days) for the utility design of district heating system had been `established in 20 years ago. Therefore new heating degree days for main cities of korea had been required and determined using long-term measured outside weather temperature data during 30 years. For the analysis of HDD, five different base temperatures ranging from 24 to were chosen in the calculation of heating degree days. And new yearly heating degree days of 15 cities of korea were given in the tabular form.
