Abstract: The emissions of artificial waste heat have an obvious effect on an urban heat island (UHI). Taking Tainan City, Taiwan as an example, this paper uses the existing power consumption and GIS data to estimate the energy consumption information of the city’s each district and employs the Morphing approach to establish the climatic data of various urban districts and to calculate long-term cumulative UHI intensity (UHII). The results show that UHII increases with energy consumption. When energy consumption exceeds 2500MWh, the increase in UHII approaches 6900℃-hour, meaning a limited effect of building energy consumption on UHII.
