Degday: A Program for Calculating Degree-days, and Assumptions Behind the Degree-day Approach

Environmental Entomology, 1986
A BASIC computer program (DEGDAY) for calculating degree-days on microcomputers is presented. The program calculates heating degree-days with the rectangle, triangle, and sine wave methods and calculates cooling degree days with the sine wave method. Assumptions and approximations associated with degree-day calculations are noted.

An Explicit Distribution to Model the Proportion of Heating Degree Day and Cooling Degree Day

Communications in Statistics - Simulation and Computation, 2014
With a view to estimating the energy consumption, we derive the explicit distribution of the proportion X/(X + Y) when X and Y follow the new Bivariate Affine-Linear Exponential distribution. An application of this distribution to model the proportion of heating using the heating degree day and the cooling degree day data in the State of Alabama for ...

AN IMPROVED MODEL FOR ESTIMATING DEGREE DAYS

Acta Horticulturae, 2002
Although using hourly data offers the greatest accuracy for estimating growing degree days, daily maximum and minimum temperature data are often used to estimate degree days by approximating the diurnal temperature trends. In this paper, an empirical model (TM model), recently developed for estimating hourly mean temperature, is used to calculate ...

HEATING DEGREE DAY IN HUNGARY

Environmental Engineering and Management Journal, 2014
In Central European countries, heating represents approximately 75% of the total energy use of a residential building, with average thermal characteristics of the envelope. The expected energy use can be determined using complex simulation programs, but an easier way is to use specific degree day values.
