• Heating demand (for climate zones 3–8): measure total hourly thermal energy consumed for space heating, service water heating, and process heating.

  • Cooling demand (for climate zones 0–5): measure total hourly thermal energy consumed for space cooling and process cooling.

Report the monthly peak hourly heating demand and the monthly peak hourly cooling demand for the current 12-month reporting period and for a baseline 12-month reporting period occurring within eight years before the end of the 12-month reporting period. Compare the current reporting period to the baseline reporting period to demonstrate a 10% reduction in the sum of the maximum monthly heating demand and the maximum monthly cooling demand.
