Each house stands for one in ten of Cambridge's 41,030 houses (single-detached, semi-detached, row and duplex), drawn by when it was built. The glow shows the usual pattern: older houses tend to be leakier and less insulated. Snowfall scales with heating degree-days.

What the analysis shows

Cambridge gets about 3,664 heating degree-days a year and has a winter design temperature of −18.3°C, according to NRCan's HOT2000 climate data for Toronto International, the closest comparable location in that data set (63 km away). Weather-normalizing your bills against those degree-days separates heating from baseload (lights, appliances, hot water), so you can see how much of the bill a heating upgrade can actually touch, and compare a mild year with a harsh one fairly.
