Energy Load Calculations:
We analyze your past energy consumption
history,
and calculate your
Heating Load and Base Use consumption.
Your
“base use” amount represents
the energy used for year-round
activities
such as water heating,
cooking, clothes drying etc.
-things which
are separate from heating
your house in winter. We then
calculate your
Normalized Annual
Consumption for Heating (NAC/H)
-normalize
it to the average Heating
Degree Days for your area, and
then average
it to the square footage to
your house. The result is a measurement
of
the number of BTU’s per
Heating Degree Days per Square
Footage of
floor area in your home. This
number is further adjusted to
reflect the
average Temperature you heat
your house. The result is a number
we can
accurately use to compare your
house to other houses, and to
new houses
being built today.
