Abstract:
1. A computerized-method for disaggregating climate control energy use from non-climate control energy use for a building, the method comprising: receiving a series of building energy use values and corresponding outdoor temperature values for a time period, wherein each of the energy use values and outdoor temperature values is associated with a time interval; in a computer process, determining a series of temperature difference values for the time period based on a difference in temperature between a predetermined baseline temperature and each of the outdoor temperature values; in a computer process, using a regression analysis to determine at least one of a climate control coefficient and a non-climate control coefficient from the energy use values and temperature difference values; in a computer process, using the climate control coefficient and the non-climate control coefficient to determine climate control energy use and non-climate control energy use for the building; and causing communicating of at least one of the climate control energy use and non-climate control energy use for the building to an associated customer.
