Answer:

The correct solution is "21024 KWh/degree day".

Step-by-step explanation:

The given query is incomplete. Below is the attachment of complete query is provided.

The given values are:

Indoor design temperature:

= 70°F

Now,

According to the question,

The heat loss annually will be:

=
12* 24* 365

=
105120 \ KW

Degree days will be:

=
75-65

=
5

Hence,

Annual KWh use will be:

=
(Heat \ loss \ annually)/(degree \ days)

On substituting the values, we get

=
(105120)/(5)

=
21024 \ KWh/degree \ day

Using the degree day method calculate the annual kwh use in springfiled il with a-example-1
