Degree Day API
Heating and cooling degree-day maths as an API, computed locally and deterministically. The daily endpoint computes the heating degree days, HDD = max(0, base − mean), and the cooling degree days, CDD = max(0, mean − base), for a single day from a base temperature and the daily mean — or the minimum and maximum, since the mean is taken as their average. The period endpoint sums the degree days over a list of daily temperatures (means or min/max pairs), returning the total HDD and CDD, the count of heating and cooling days and the average temperature — the standard way to characterise a heating or cooling season. The energy endpoint turns degree days into an energy estimate: the heat delivered is UA·DD·24/1000 kWh from the building heat-loss coefficient, the fuel or electricity input is that divided by the boiler efficiency (or a heat-pump COP), and — with an energy price — the cost. Everything is computed locally and deterministically, so it is instant and private. Ideal for building-energy, HVAC and facilities tools, heating-bill and fuel-budget estimation, weather-normalisation and energy-benchmarking apps, and engineering education. Pure local computation — no key, no third-party service, instant. Live, nothing stored. 3 endpoints. This is degree-day demand estimation; for U-value and heat-loss fabric calculations use a U-value API.
