Calendarization and Normalization

Description<= /h3>

Topics in this section provide guidance on Calendarization and Normaliza= tion in EnergyCAP.

Calendarization more accurately allocates utility bill = usage and cost data for reporting purposes by dividing the data into day-si= ze chunks and allocating them to the appropriate calendar month using weath= er adjustments. 

Normalization compensates for year-to-year weather vari= ations by imposing the same year=E2=80=99s weather (in terms of degree days= ) on each year of usage data. Doing so effectively removes year-to year cha= nges in consumption caused by weather so that a true apples-to-apples compa= rison can be made when examining the effectiveness of energy saving project= s.

These features are available to EnergyCAP clients who have installed the= Cost Avoidance or Calendarization/Normalization option.

In both the calendarization and normalization processes, a sophisticated= and fully automatic process is used to:

  1. determine if a meter is statistically weather sensitive due to a val= id correlation between usage and degree days.

  2. determine if it is weather sensitive in summer, winter, neither or b= oth.

  3. create a mathematical model of the meter=E2=80=99s response to degre= e days which indicates how sensitive it is (in usage per degree day) and ho= w much non-weather base load it has (in usage per day).

  4. determine which process is appropriate for each meter (the mathemati= cal model if weather sensitive, or simple daily proration if not weather se= nsitive) to create the calendarized and normalized results.

The results of calendarization and normalization may be viewed from the = Calendarized Data and Normalized Data tab= s in the Buildings & Meters chart displays, and in a series of speciali= zed Calendarized or Normalized reports.
