Methods and systems for measurement and verification weighting with temperature distribution
First Claim
1. A method in a data processing system for temperature weighting in energy-usage measurements, the method comprising:
- identifying a number of days that each of a plurality of different temperatures occurred at a location during a period of time;
identifying a baseline for initial energy usage at a building located in the location;
receiving measurements for energy usage at the building;
generating an expression for measured energy usage as a function of temperature by performing a regression analysis on the measurements for energy usage;
identifying a difference between the baseline for initial energy usage and the expression for measured energy usage;
generating a weighting for the difference between baseline energy usage and the measured energy usage at one or more temperatures based on the number of days the one or more temperatures occurred during the period of time; and
adjusting the baseline using the weighting for operating subsystems of the building to reduce an amount of energy consumption.

Abstract
Systems, methods, and mediums use temperature weighting in energy-usage measurements. A method includes identifying a number of days that each of a plurality of different temperatures occurred at a location during a period of time. The method includes identifying a baseline for initial energy usage at a building located in the location. The method includes receiving measurements for energy usage at the building. The method includes generating an expression for measured energy usage as a function of temperature by performing a regression analysis on the measurements for energy usage. The method includes identifying a difference between the baseline for initial energy usage and the expression for measured energy usage. The method includes generating a weighting for the difference between baseline energy usage and the measured energy usage at one or more temperatures based on the number of days the one or more temperatures occurred during the period of time.
