Electric Heat Identification Tool

Overview

For this project, CEE will create a spreadsheet tool that can be used to identify utility customers that use electricity for space heating, based on CEE's billing analysis methodology. Users of the tool input electricity usage data for a set of customers, then the tool returns the list of customers ranked by a statistical metric quantifying the degree to which electricity use corelates with heating load. The list will help identify those who use electricity for space heating, as they are most likely to appear toward the top of the tool-generated list. The tool's purpose is not to derive unique information but key energy use patterns broadly and more easily than by other means.
