A·IQ Energy & Utilities | Weather

Normalize the weather. Find the actual change.

Energy comparisons without weather normalization are noise. A 2025 winter that ran 18% colder than 2024 will inflate every YoY metric you publish. Signal Weather pulls NOAA-grade data per facility, normalizes consumption, and isolates real operational changes.

02 / Capabilities

What it does.

Four functions across data, normalization, and forecasting.

Data

Per-site weather.

NOAA ISD station data resolved to each facility coordinate. Historical hourly back 20+ years. Forecast 7-14 days.

Normalize

CDD/HDD models.

Heating- and cooling-degree-day regression baselines per building. Catches real anomalies through weather noise.

Forecast

Load forecast.

Day-ahead load prediction tied to weather forecast. Enables peak-shaving and demand-response prep.

typical day-ahead load forecast accuracy
Anomaly

Weather-adjusted anomaly.

Flags consumption that is anomalous after weather is removed. The cold snap excused; the still-running AHU is not.

03 / In Practice

Why this matters.

A common scenario: a sustainability team reports YoY energy growth and is held to account by leadership. The truth, after weather normalization: actual operational consumption fell 6% the rest was a colder winter and a hotter summer.

05 / Security

Your data. Your infrastructure.

On-premise by default. Cloud-deployable when required. Your facility data never leaves your network.

TLS everywhere, secrets in vault, row-level security on every query. Containerized and isolated so one service going down never takes the rest with it.

06 / Reference

Common Questions.

Engineer and operator questions on this capability.

01

Where does weather data come from?

NOAA ISD (hourly historical), NWS NDFD (forecast), and OpenWeatherMap (real-time backfill). Per-site resolution to the nearest qualified station.

02

What is CDD/HDD?

Cooling-degree-days and heating-degree-days standard metrics for the heating and cooling load a building experiences. Most energy normalization regresses against them.

03

Is this an extra subscription?

No. Weather is included in Signal. NOAA data is public.

04

Can we use a different weather source?

Yes. We can ingest from Visual Crossing, AccuWeather Enterprise, or your own weather station network.
