Single and Multivariate Regression Analysis
Regression analysis is used for;
- Developing an energy baseline so that future energy efficiency projects can be measured against it to verify savings
- Applying weather normalization to year over year energy consumption to understand weather’s contribution to variation in energy usage
- Applying production normalization to year over year energy consumption to understand how production levels influence energy usage
- Other purposes where the correlation between two or more variables is desired
- The chart below shows how a building uses natural gas throughout the year. The red data points show gas usage not related to heating, while the blue data points show the heating related usage.
