  2. Table of Calculated and Actual Data

  3. HDD Calculated vs. Published • The most probable cause of error is the difference in temperatures between the weather station and the readings taken by the thermocouple on the roof of the house.

  4. Number of On/Off Cycles

  5. Furnace on Time vs. HDD Calculated House temperature was not always set to 65 F. Ambient heat on thermocouple located on desk could provide answer for large deviation.

  6. Furnace on Time vs. HDD Published House temperature was not always set to 65 F. Ambient heat on thermocouple located on desk could provide answer for large deviation.
