But if it is so easy, why write a paper on this? Well, it isn’t so easy. Let’s find out why.First, we select a year of utility bills(3) to which we want to compare future usage. This would typically be the year before you started your alternative energy program, the year before you installed a retrofit, or the year before you, the new energy contractor, were hired, or just some year in the past that you want to compare current usage to. In this example, we would select the year of utility data before the installation of the solar electric system. We will call this year the Base Year(4).How? You take a bill from some billing period after the Base Year. You (or your software) plug in the number of days from your bill and the number of Cooling Degree Days from the billing period into your Baseline Equation.In our example, we are claiming that because the post-installation weather was hotter, the solar electric project looked like it didn’t save any energy, even though it really did. Imagine explaining that to customers!HOW WEATHER NORMALIZATION WORKSCALCULATING DEGREE DAYS AND FINDING THE BALANCE POINTThe Boulder Avenue bridge will be the main link between workers in the tall office buildings with restaurants, entertainment and art activities in the Brady Arts District, Brady Arts District Owners Association President Steve Ganzkow said.Savings = 41,850 kWh – 30,000 kWhWe normalized Base Year utility bills and weather data for number of days in the bill.8) You would not sum or average high or low temperatures for a period of time, as the result would not be useful. However, you can sum degree days, and the result remains useful, as it is proportional to the heating or cooling requirements of a building.
