Jäähdytysaste
Jäähdytysaste, often translated as cooling degree or cooling degree days, is a meteorological and energy-related metric used to quantify the need for air conditioning in a particular location. It is analogous to heating degree days, which measure the demand for heating.
The calculation of jäähdytysaste typically involves a base temperature, usually around 18 degrees Celsius (64.4 degrees
Higher jäähdytysaste values indicate a greater need for cooling and thus a higher energy consumption for air
