[NBLUG/talk] September 26 PD article about an open source software organization with local ties - LF Energy

[Tom Most]

EEweather <https://eeweather.readthedocs.io/en/latest/> looks potentially useful, and I'd heard of the statistical approach to computing avoided energy use, but didn't realize there was an open implementation in EEmeter <http://eemeter.openee.io/>.
