Weather-Normalized reports use system-generated consumption models to allow energy use comparisons that are not possible using traditional energy accounting. It is used to answer questions like:
• | How does FY2014 compare with FY2013 for my building(s)? |
• | How do my buildings, which are in different geographic regions, compare against one another in CY2014? |
The report is not restricted to the default baseline reference period.
The weather-normalization logic applies a single standard weather set to the all of the meters in the report, using the system-generated models for the meters over the report period. The standard weather set is the weather experienced at a pre-defined weather station over a specific one-year time period.
For each meter, the consumption performance is captured in the models. Applying the standard weather set levels the effect of weather over time and across geography.
