Energy indeces calculated are

CDD 18oC (oC)

Cooling Degree Days CDD18oC (oC) is a summation of the positive difference between the diurnal average temperature and the threshold temperature 18 oC.

HDD 18oC (oC)

Heating Degree Days HDD18oC (oC) is a summation of the negative difference between the diurnal average temperature and the threshold temperature (18oC).?
