Abstract

A “degree‐day” Is one when the average temperature is 64°F. A day which has an average temperature of 54° is sometimes called “11‐degree‐days”, and one with an average temperature of 0°, “65‐degree‐days”. However, instead of calling a single zero‐day 65‐degree‐days, here it is said to have 65 degree‐day units.
