How does the Degree Days Calculator work?

Heating degree days (HDD) = sum of (65 - daily avg temp) for days below 65°F Then: Cooling degree days (CDD) = sum of (daily avg - 65) for days above 65°F Then: Higher values indicate greater heating/cooling needs.

Can you give an example of how to use the Degree Days Calculator?

Example: Input City: 5000 HDD/year (cold climate), another 1000 (warm) gives a result of Cold climate needs 5× more heating, affecting system size and fuel use (Major design driver).
