Combined normalized intensity calculator

Divide by the selected product of activity, weather and area only when that normalization is justified.

Units
I=EnergyProduction×Degree days×Floor areaI = \frac{\text{Energy}}{\text{Production} \times \text{Degree days} \times \text{Floor area}}

Worked example

Given

  • Energy\text{Energy} = 720,000,000 Btu
  • Production×Degree days×Floor area\text{Production} \times \text{Degree days} \times \text{Floor area} = 240,000,000 as shown
I=720,000,000240,000,000=3I = \frac{720{,}000{,}000}{240{,}000{,}000} = 3
