cheaper heating and cooling it was proposed thathouseholds have been shifting their patterns of

heating and cooling from only living areas to all therooms in the house, with shifting societal

expectations (R8).

with increasingly available heating and cooling it waspeople’s expectation of indoor temperature variability

was considered to reduce (R9), enhanced by otherfactors, such as patterns of heating and cooling in

workplaces.

The total energy used to heat and cool homes alsocontributes to the urban heat island (UHI) effect in

cities (although it is only one contributor of many). Inturn, the UHI creates increased energy use in summer

In the absence of adequate climate changemitigation, more extreme effects may cause

infrastructure failures, which could keep people athome and increase household energy requirements

(R3).
