Abstract:
A method of communicating residential energy efficiency, is provided. The method includes obtaining a data set from a plurality of building structures wherein the data set includes an indoor temperature, an outdoor temperate, and HVAC equipment state information from each of the plurality of building sets. The method further includes determining energy efficiency for each of the plurality of building structures using the indoor temperature, the outdoor temperature and the HVAC equipment state information and displaying energy efficiency for one of the plurality of building structures as a comparison to other of the plurality of building structures.

Claim (Index 15):
A system for determining residential envelope efficiency for a home, the system comprising:\n an inside temperature sensor for collecting indoor temperature data associated with the home; an outside temperature sensor for collecting out door temperature data associated with the home; a sensor for determining cycling on and off of HVAC equipment of the home; a computing device in operative communication with the inside temperature sensor, the outside temperature sensor, and the sensor determining cycling on and off data for the HVAC equipment; a database storing the inside temperature data, the outside temperature data, and the cycling on and off data for the HVAC equipment in the home and in a plurality of different homes; wherein the computing device is in operative communication with the database to provide for (a) determining a coefficient for the home using the indoor temperature data, the outdoor temperature data, and the cycling on and off data for the HVAC equipment in the home, the coefficient describing a rate of heat transfer of the building structure per degree temperature difference and (b) determining an envelope efficiency for the home using the coefficient and the square footage of the conditioned spaced within the building; wherein the envelope efficiency is reported by British Thermal Unit (BTU) per square feet (Sq. Ft.) of conditioned space.
