I've been wondering this for years - what are "degree days" and how do they work? I'm guessing it's not that complicated, but some people here seem to really use these as a guide to heating performance, etc.

Maybe I'll shoot over to the wikipedia and see what it has to say, also. Being an engineer, I have to do my research!

Well, I suppose I answered my own question - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heating_degree_day

Interesting!
