APPENDIX 7A. CORRELATING WEATHER STATION DATA TO SAMPLE

BUILDINGS

7A-1 INTRODUCTION

The Energy Information Administration’s (EIA’s) 2009 Residential Energy Consumption 

Survey (RECS 2009)1and the EIA’s 2003 Commercial Building Energy Consumption Survey

(CBECS 2003)2provide annual data on heating and cooling degree-days for the buildings in 

their samples, which the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) utilized for its energy use analysis

for portable air conditioners (ACs); (see chapter 7). Neither EIA survey, however, provides data 

regarding other weather parameters needed for the energy use analysis, such as outdoor design 

temperature (ODT), monthly (rather than annual) heating degree-days (HDDs) and cooling 

degree-days (CDD), and average outdoor temperature. DOE uses CDDs to estimate hours of 

operation for portable ACs and electricity prices weighted to summer months. Monthly energy 

price data are available for use in the analysis. Monthly energy use is combined with monthly 

energy prices to determine the monthly operating cost.

7A-2 METHODOLOGY

To derive the additional weather data needed for analyzing the energy use of portable 

ACs in each building in its sample, DOE assigned a physical location to each RECS household 

and CBECS building.a The method comprised the following steps.

1. DOE assembled monthly weather data from 360 National Oceanic and Atmospheric 

Administration (NOAA) weather stations that provide heating and cooling degree-days at 

a base temperature 65 oF for 2009 (for the RECS sample) and for 2003 (for the CBECS 

sample).

3 The 2009 and 2003 heating and cooling degree-days match the period used to 

determine the degree-days in RECS 2009 and in CBECS 2003, respectively. DOE 

selected only those weather stations for which NOAA provided HDDs and CDDs, which 

reduced the number of weather stations used in the matching process to 321. D

2. OE obtained ODT data from the 1993 ASHRAE Handbook.

4

3. RECS and CBECS report both HDD and CDD to a base temperature 65 oF for each 

building record. DOE assigned each building to one of the 339 weather stations by 

calculating which weather station (within the appropriate region) was closest based on the 

best linear least-squares fit of the RECS or CBECS data to the weather data. The 

following equation calculates the U.S. weather station closest to (or having the minimum 

distance from) a given RECS or CBECS building.

" Distance" (HDD  HDD )  (CDD  CDD ) 2 1

a To maintain survey confidentiality, the EIA slightly altered heating and cooling degree-day values to mask the 

exact geographic location of each surveyed housing unit and business enterprise.

Where:

HDD1 = heating degree-days from U.S. weather data,

HDD2 = heating degree-days from RECS/CBECS data,

CDD1 = cooling degree-days from U.S. weather data, and

CDD2 = cooling degree-days from RECS/CBECS data.

7A-3 RESULTS

Table 7A-3.1 shows the results of correlating the NOAA weather data with all RECS and 

CBECS locations used in DOE’s energy analysis. Some U.S. weather station data match with

several RECS/CBECS records. The number of RECS or CBECS buildings that were matched to 

a specific weather station is indicated in the column “Count.” Table 7A-3.1 shows the data 

matches, including the heating ODT for the weather stations, for 321 weather stations.
