Abstract:
Analysis of the effects of temperature fluctuations on residential energy expenditures is important to the
future of the energy industry. While energy usage varies regionally and seasonally, the specificity of data
available for this level of investigation is limited, particularly with respect to heating fuel consumption.
This paper explores an approach to the disaggregation of heating fuel consumption from national
monthly data and state yearly data to state monthly data via the development of a standardized
computational method.
