Both heating and cooling degree days are referenced to 65 degrees F. If the average of a given day’s high and low temperature is 65 degrees, then there are no (zero) heating or cooling degree days. If the average temperature is 72 degrees F for a given day, then there are (72 minus 65 equals) 7 cooling degree days. If the average temperature is 50 degrees F., then there are (65 minus 50 equals) 15 heating degree days. The energy industry pays attention to heating and cooling degree days as a way to easily and quickly estimate energy usage, which then helps to predict energy prices.
