Weather Normalization: Unlocking Energy Efficiency with METCO Engineering, Inc.

As the world shifts towards a more sustainable future, energy efficiency has become a top priority for building managers and owners. One crucial step in achieving this goal is weather normalization, a process that helps measure a building's energy performance over time. METCO Engineering Inc. offers a cutting-edge weather normalization service that empowers energy managers to make data-driven decisions and optimize energy consumption.

What is Weather Normalization?

Weather normalization is the process of calculating the amount of energy a building would consume under average weather conditions. This takes into account the difference between the outside temperature and the building's temperature, providing a more accurate picture of energy consumption. By normalizing energy usage, managers can identify areas for improvement, measure the effectiveness of energy-saving initiatives, and make informed investment decisions.

How Does Weather Normalization Work?

METCO's weather normalization technique uses heating degree days (HDD) and cooling degree days (CDD) to assess energy consumption. These metrics determine which buildings require improvement in energy conservation and consumption. The total energy consumed over a period is divided by the sum of CDD and HDD, allowing for comparisons between similar buildings or different time periods.

Benefits of Weather Normalization

METCO's weather normalization service offers several benefits, including:

1. Predicting Future Consumption: By analyzing historical data, energy managers can predict future energy consumption and plan accordingly.
2. Measuring Performance: Weather normalization helps evaluate the effectiveness of energy-saving initiatives, such as solar panels.
3. Identifying Investment Avenues: Energy managers can pinpoint areas of energy wastage and prioritize investments for maximum returns.
4. Discovering Cost Avoidance Opportunities: Weather normalization helps identify opportunities to reduce energy expenditure and transfer costs to future owners.
