If you know the terminology, that's great--use it--but if you're unsure, then please do your best to use language you understand to explain to us what you need. I believe you've already done pretty well in this case but I wanted to alert readers who might pick up on the "seasonal adjustment" phrase and potentially misunderstand what you're looking for. | |

In your case what you are looking for merely has an accidental relationship to a periodic "season": you want to develop a model that relates heating needs to temperature and use that to assess whether your energy consumption is going down or up after controlling for the temperatures. Having said that, I'll admit that there is a truly seasonal effect lurking here but it won't be possible to find it until such a model is developed. (I use one for my own house.) | |
