1 One of five climatically distinct areas, determined according to the 30-year average (1961-1990) of
the annual heating and cooling degree-days. For this report, the heating or cooling degree-days are a
measure of how cold or how hot a location is over a period of one year, relative to a base temperature
of 65 degrees Fahrenheit. A household is assigned to a climate zone according to the 30-year average
annual degree-days for an appropriate nearby weather station.
2 The number of households, where the end use is electric air-conditioning, does not include
households that did not use their equipment (2.1 million). It does include the small number of
households where the fuel for central air-conditioning equipment was something other than electricity;
those households were treated as if the fuel was electricity.
3 The 2001 RECS reported 800,000 households having both central air-conditioning and room/wall
