83 Energy Estimation Degree-day method A degree-day is the sum of the number of degrees that the average daily temperature (technically the average of the daily maximum and minimum) is above (for cooling) or below (for heating) a base temperature times the duration in days Heating degree-days (HDD) Cooling degree-days (CDD) Summed over a period or a year for indicating climate severity (effect of outdoor air on a building)
84 Heating degree-day: Cooling degree-day: + Only take the positive values t bal = base temperature (or balance point temperature) (e.g o C or 65 o F); Q load = Q gain + Q loss = 0 t o = outdoor temperature (e.g. average daily max./min.) * Degree-hours if summing over 24-hourly intervals Degree-day = Σ(degree-hours) + / 24

87 Correlation between energy consumption and degree days
88 Energy Estimation Variable base degree-day (VBDD) method Degree-day with variable reference temperatures To account for different building conditions and variation between daytime and nighttime First calculate the balance point temperature of a building and then the heating and cooling degree hours at that base temperature Require tedious calculations and detailed processing of hourly weather data at a complexity similar to hourly simulations. Therefore, does not seem warranted nowadays (why not just go for hourly simulation)
89 Energy Estimation Bin and modified bin methods Evolve from VBDD method Derive building annual heating/cooling loads by calculating its loads for a set of temperature bins Multiplying the calculated loads by nos. of hours represented by each bin (e.g , 20-22, o C) Totaling the sums to obtain the loads (cooling/heating energy) Original bin method: not account of solar/wind effects Modified bin method: account for solar/wind effects
