Energy use by cooling degree day (kilowatt-hours) metric

Determines energy use efficiency based on comparing energy use by location, geography, calendar period, and other attributes. This metric also normalizes energy consumption for cooling based on number of buildings, buildings size, and the climate at the various locations.

Name
Energy Use by Cooling Degree Day (kilowatt-hours)
Category
Environmental
Analysis objective for exception conditions
Determines which facilities have good or poor energy use. Uses time trend analysis to compare seasonal peaks, anomalies, or trends.
Description
Identifies normalized energy consumption that is based on building size and climate, which is measured in thousands of British thermal units (kBtu) per square foot per degree day.
