Abstract:
1. A method for generating a home energy efficiency label comprising: measuring, in real-time, said gas-energy usage of a household, said measuring comprising metering of normal volume constituting displacement of molar content per unit time by application of a gas meter compensated for temperature and pressure variations in natural gas flow; obtaining, in real time, outside temperature data by at least one of: obtaining outside temperature data from the Internet or by using a temperature measurement device outside of the household; receiving by a household computer said real-time measurements of gas-energy usage and temperature data; displaying said received data on a household computer screen; correlating, in real-time, by said computer the received gas-energy usage to the received outside temperature data by applying statistical analysis, said correlating comprising: antecedent displaying the results of (a) and (b) on said household computer screen simultaneously with time history of said real-time gas-energy usage and outside temperature both for the same period of time, wherein said period of time is selected from a few minutes to a few years, generating, by a computer, the home energy efficiency label comprising in one graph said approximation curve and said received data on enemy usage and outside temperatures, and the results of (a) and (b); using the label to certify home energy efficiency on a housing market including home appraising and financing.
