Heating Technologies
It uses a heat exchanger to transition the heat from a burning material into the air, which then gets blown throughout the house.
Furnace
Measuring performance and comparing it against others.
Benchmarking
It helps identify where we are missing data. Also compare characteristics of different groups of things.
Data Categorization
If you spin a coil in a magnetic field, it will induce a voltage and cause a current to flow.

It is known chemically as methane, with one carbon and four hydrogens around it.
Natural Gas
A type of benchmarking that we often use to help improve something.
Performance Benchmarking
In the context of energy and emissions, we compare performance based on...
Energy Consumption
It tends to be more remote and produces a lot of emissions. Mainly sited in low-income and people of color neighborhoods.

Runs electricity through wire coils until hot, then blows air to move it around. It is known to be an inefficient way of heating.
Electrical Resistance
A Law passed in NYC requires annual energy performance benchmarking for some city-owned and private buildings.

Grades are given to buildings based on benchmark performance. Buildings have to post their scores publicly.
Grades can be A, B, C, D, F, or N
ENERGY STAR Score
After the air is compressed, it shoots into a chamber that mixes with other fuels.
Combustion
Searching through large data sets to find patterns and trends.
