HEATING DEGREE DAY RESEARCH IN ALBERTA: RESIDENTS CONSERVE NATURAL GAS |
|
| Authors: | Marie Sanderson |
| Abstract: | A high correlation exists between monthly population-weighted heating degree days (below 18C) and the use of natural gas per household for residential heating in Alberta for the period 1962–80. The use of natural gas for residential heating per household declines since 1973 following a sharp increase in gas prices. |
