AB - The implications of global warming on energy uses for heating and cooling in  buildings are analysed in the paper. The research methodology is based on  monitoring data on average daily temperature variation during a certain  period and expected future temperature variation of existing mean daily  temperatures according to a certain climate model. Developed model also uses  the current real energy consumption of public buildings at a location and  envisaged variation of cooling and heating degree day influenced by global  warming. Based on the model, authors examine the influence of global warming  on primary energy consumption for heating and cooling in public buildings in  a city of Kragujevac, Serbia. The results show that a consequence of global  warming should be a significant reduction of total primary energy  consumption for heating and cooling in the public buildings. Possible  increase in mean annual temperature of 3.8 °C till the end of the century  has an impact to the reduction of primary energy use for heating for 35,7%  in public buildings in Kragujevac, while predicted consumption of primary  energy for cooling will be almost 5 times higher than nowadays.
