Method and system for disaggregating heating and cooling energy use from other building energy use
First Claim
1. A computerized-method for disaggregating climate control energy use from non-climate control energy use for a building, the method comprising:
- receiving a series of building energy use values and corresponding outdoor temperature values for a time period, wherein each of the energy use values and outdoor temperature values is associated with a time interval;
in a computer process, determining a series of temperature difference values for the time period based on a difference in temperature between a predetermined baseline temperature and each of the outdoor temperature values;
in a computer process, using a regression analysis to determine at least one of a climate control coefficient and a non-climate control coefficient from the energy use values and temperature difference values;
in a computer process, using the climate control coefficient and the non-climate control coefficient to determine climate control energy use and non-climate control energy use for the building; and
causing communicating of at least one of the climate control energy use and non-climate control energy use for the building to an associated customer.

Abstract
Illustrative embodiments of the present invention are directed to a method and system for disaggregating climate control energy use from non-climate control energy use for a building. The method includes receiving a series of building energy use values and corresponding outdoor temperature values for a time period. Each of the energy use values and outdoor temperature values is associated with a time interval. The method further includes determining a series of temperature difference values for the time period based on a difference in temperature between a predetermined baseline temperature and each of the outdoor temperature values. A regression analysis is used to determine a climate control coefficient and a non-climate control coefficient from the energy use values and temperature difference values. The climate control coefficient and/or the non-climate control coefficient is used to determine climate control energy use and/or non-climate control energy use for the building.
