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.

Heating degree–days for arid regions
Energy, 1998Abstract Arid regions generally have great temperature differences between day and night. Heating degree–days are indicative of the need to heat buildings. We show that the maximum and minimum temperatures are linearly related at high significance levels.

Variable Base Heating Degree-Day Data
Transactions of the ASAE, 1984ABSTRACT HEATING degree-day (HDD) data are often used to estimate annual fuel energy requirements for heating buildings. Commonly, a base temperature of 18.3°C (65°F) is used for calculating HDD. This fixed-base data is generally not appropriate for structures housing livestock since the balance or base temperature of the structure can vary ...

Calcuiation of heating degree-days for Pakistan
Building Services Engineering Research and Technology, 1999Heating degree-days for various locations in Pakistan — Karachi, Hyderabad, Lahore, Multan, Islamabad, Peshawar and Quetta — from 1987 to 1996, are calculated from the available meteorological data. The method to calculate the degree-days, which may be the first attempt for Pakistan, is briefly described.

Sol-air heating and cooling degree-days
Solar Energy, 1984Abstract A set of relationships is developed which allow the estimation of sol-air heating and cooling degree-days at any base temperature. The method makes use of existing relationships for hourly utilizability and degree-days, and the only input required is the monthly-average solar radiation and ambient temperature.

Heating Degree Day Data Applied to Residential Heating Energy Consumption
Journal of Applied Meteorology, 1980Abstract Site-specific total electric energy and heating oil consumption for individual residences show a very high correlation with National Weather Service airport temperature data when transformed to heating degree days. Correlations of regional total residential electrical consumption with airport heating degree days for about 40 000 dwelling units

An Explicit Distribution to Model the Proportion of Heating Degree Day and Cooling Degree Day
Communications in Statistics - Simulation and Computation, 2014With 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 ...

Characteristics of Heating Degree Days and Cooling Degree Days in Beijing During Last 50 Years
2011 Fourth International Joint Conference on Computational Sciences and Optimization, 2011Degree-day is a quantitative index demonstrated to reflect the demand for energy to heat or cool houses and businesses. In this paper, the 18°C threshold temperature is chosen in Beijing. The homogenized mean daily temperature series during 1960-2009 in Beijing Weather Observatory is collected to calculate HDD and CDD.
