Each house stands for one in ten of Edmonton's 275,750 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.

Getting your usage history in Edmonton

Most of Edmonton is served by EPCOR for electricity and ATCO Gas for natural gas.

Alberta is a retail market: the distributor owns the wires and pipes, but you may buy the energy itself from a retailer. Your usage history sits with whoever bills you.

  • EPCOR: EPCOR's advanced meters send daily reads to your retailer; use your retailer's bills or portal. EPCOR Energy (RoLR) and Encor customers see bills in EPCOR MyAccount, which stores bills for up to two years. No usage download or Green Button confirmed. Link

What the analysis shows

Edmonton gets about 5,668 heating degree-days a year and has a winter design temperature of −30.8°C, according to NRCan's HOT2000 climate data for Edmonton International, the closest comparable location in that data set (26 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.
