Data on the additional electricity consumption triggered bythe ambient overheating is available for various States in USA. Inparticular, in part of the State of California including San Hose,Sacramento, Pomona and Fresno the increase of the daily electricityconsumption is estimated around 2.9% per degree of temperaturerise, (DTR) for temperatures above 15◦C [33]. For the whole areaof California, the monthly electricity demand increases by 7.7%per degree of temperature rise above 17◦C, and the correspond-ing energy penalty is estimated around 27 kW h per person [28]. Ina similar way, the corresponding increase of the monthly electric-ity consumption for Ohio, Louisiana and Maryland USA, are 7.5%,8.5% and 8.5%, respectively, and the energy penalty is close to 30,40 and 22 kW h/person [33]. The threshold temperatures are 16◦Cfor Ohio, 20◦C for Louisiana and 15.6◦C for the residential sectorand 11.7◦C for the commercial sector in Maryland. Finally, for Mas-sachusetts, it is estimated that the monthly residential electricitydemand increases in a rate close to 6.5% per degree of temperaturerise above 15.5◦C resulting in a penalty of 9 kW h/person [37]. Forthe commercial sector the corresponding rate of increase is closeto 3% per DTR for temperatures above 12.8◦C; this results in anadditional demand of 12.7 kW h/person and month [37].
