Climate change can, for example, influence energy consumption patterns by changing how household and industrial consumers respond to short-term weather shocks, as well as how they adapt to long-term changes . Recent studies from Stockholm, Sweden, show that future heating demand will decrease while cooling demand will increase . A study from the USA showed that climate change will impact buildings by affecting peak and annual building energy consumption . From an infrastructure standpoint, the vulnerability of current hydropower and thermoelectric power generation systems may change due to changes in climate and water systems and projected reduction of usable capacities . These examples show how energy infrastructure planning under climate change must take into account a greater number of scenarios and investigate impacts on particular energy segments .
