The anthropogenic heat fluxes (AHF) from buildings, transport and people are an essential component of the urban climate within cities. Presently limited information on the AHF in South African cities exists. This study quantifies the AHF in South African cities using the LUCY (Large scale Urban Consumption of energy) model. This initial work provides an important baseline to support developing an improved characterisation of urban heat islands under a changing climate in South African cities.
