Degree Days
Calculate heating and cooling degree-days from outdoor dry bulb temperature.
Inputs
dry_bulb [Required]
A data collection representing outdoor dry bulb temperature [C]
heat_base
A number for the base temperature below which a given hour is considered to be in heating mode. Default is 18 Celcius, which is a common balance point for buildings.
cool_base
A number for the base temperature above which a given hour is considered to be in cooling mode. Default is 23 Celcius, which is a common balance point for buildings.
Outputs
hourly_heat
A data collection of heating degree-days. Plug this into the 'Time Interval Operation' component to get the number of degree-days at different time intervals.
hourly_cool
A data collection of cooling degree-days. Plug this into the 'Time Interval Operation' component to get the number of degree-days at different time intervals.
heat_deg_days
A value indicating the total number of heating degree-days over the entire input _dry_bulb collection.
cool_deg_days
A value indicating the total number of cooling degree-days over the entire input _dry_bulb collection.
