Abstract:
In recent decades the environmental situation in Central Asia has dramatically deteriorated due to both natural reasons and human activity. One of the key questions challenging the economy of Central Asia, and, subsequently, its environment is the low energy efficiency. Therefore, the research of the energy demand characteristics, which can be useful in solving of this enormous problem, was selected as a topic for master’s paper by a student from Uzbekistan, who has currently been studying in the Toyohashi University of Technology (Toyohashi, Japan). The coupled GCM outputs could be used as a basis for assessment of environmental situation in Central Asia (and Uzbekistan, in particular). It, in turn, will allow assessing the energy demand in Uzbekistan up to 2030, taking into account the fact, that the probable increase in air temperature and decrease in precipitation level can enlarge energy demand for maintaining comfortable temperature in buildings.
