Interval Estimations of Building Heating Energy Consumption using the Degree-Day Method and Fuzzy Numbers

The purpose of this paper is to propagate the input uncertainties of the degree-day method to estimate the building heating energy consumption as numerical intervals. While it is common to use average or expected values (e.g., Typical Meteorological Year) to address the input uncertainties, this pra...
