SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR SEASONAL ENERGY CONSUMPTION DETERMINATION USING VERIFIED ENERGY LOADS WITH THE AID OF A DIGITAL COMPUTER

A system and method for seasonal energy consumption determination using verified energy loads with the aid of a digital computer are provided. A digital computer is operated, including: obtaining energy loads for a building measured over a seasonal time period; obtaining outdoor temperatures for the building as measured over the seasonal time period; verifying stability of the energy loads, including: evaluating the energy loads over time; and identifying at least one of one or more discontinuities and one or more irregularities in the energy loads based on the evaluation. Operating the computer further includes: determining a baseload energy consumption using at least some of those of the energy loads; calculating seasonal fuel consumption rates and balance point temperatures; and disaggregating seasonal fuel consumption based on the baseload energy consumption, seasonal fuel consumption rates, balance point temperatures, and at least some of the outdoor temperatures into component loads of consumption.
