Degree-days for a given day represent the number of Celsius degrees that the mean temperature is above or below a given base. For example, heating degree-days are the number of degrees below 18°C. ... Values above or below the base of 18°C are used primarily to estimate the heating and cooling requirements of buildings. 5, record 1, English, - heating%20degree%2Dday

For example, if the daily high temperature is 55 degrees and the daily low is 35 degrees, the actual temperature for that day would be 45 degrees. The HDD's for that day would be 20 (65-45). If the average temperature is greater than or equal to 65 degrees, the HDD's for the day would be zero. 3, record 1, English, - heating%20degree%2Dday

Les degrés-jours d'une journée représentent l'écart négatif ou positif, en degrés Celsius, qui sépare la température moyenne d'une valeur de base donnée. Par exemple, les degrés-jours de chauffe sont le nombre de degrés inférieurs à 18 °C. Si la température est égale ou inférieure à 18 °C, ce nombre sera nul. Les valeurs supérieures ou inférieures à la base de 18 °C servent d'habitude à estimer les besoins en chauffage et en climatisation des bâtiments. 4, record 1, French, - degr%C3%A9%2Djour%20de%20chauffage
