Abstract
Energy usage data of an indoor climate control system, such as an HVAC system, for a building and ambient temperature data are obtained for a time period of interest with a time resolution that reflects the physically relevant time scales. The data are formed into time series. A correlation between the system's usage and ambient temperature is established, where a strong (or high) correlation is interpreted as an indication that the thermostat set point infrequently gets changed, if at all, whilst a weak (or low) correlation is interpreted as an indication that the thermostat set point is changed regularly. In addition, a correlation between the system's usage and the building's occupancy can be established, which can help corroborate the assessment of the appropriateness or efficiency of thermostat set point changing patterns.
