When not using the Audit wizard:

If, say cooling, or heating for that matter, does not provide a good signal per the bills provided, but does exist in the home (meaning the home uses a/c or a furnace), should the auditor proceed to hand calibrate the model (adjusting the cooling capacity, t-stat set point, etc.)  to closely match the utilities (as shown in the post audit calibration window located in the analysis sub-tab)?

If said cooling (or heating) does not provide a good signal, and does not exist in the home, should the auditor, again, hand calibrate the model to closely match the utilities.

Does the cooling outweigh the heating? If so, aren’t the cooling loads mostly driven by radiant gains?

If a home has already renewables installed, e.g. solar pv, is it best to determine what the monthly energy generation is and add it to the appropriate bill–assuming actual renewable bill data is unavailable for a 12 month cycle?
