Combined normalized intensity calculator
Combined normalized intensity
Divide by the selected product of activity, weather and area only when that normalization is justified.
Units
I=Production×Degree days×Floor areaEnergy
I=Production×Degree days×Floor areaEnergy
Calculator
Enter the values you know and leave one box empty. Calculate finds the empty one, the result or any input.
Worked example
Given
- Energy = 720,000,000 Btu
- Production×Degree days×Floor area = 240,000,000 as shown
I=240,000,000720,000,000=3
Given
- Energy = 480,000 MJ
- Production×Degree days×Floor area = 12,000,000 unit·K·day·m²
I=12,000,000480,000=0.04
