The bottom-up methods for energy benchmarking aim to derive a yardstick for energy performance based on a theoretical analysis of a building.
The yardstick method can only be used on significant differences in the analysis of variance [28, 29].
The advantages of the latter approach, described as the 'yardstick' (Chalmers 1993)[ 2] include (i) a more complete analysis of 'time of event' outcomes and (ii) a more powerful analysis of whether treatment is more or less effective in particular subgroups (Stewart 1993)[ 3].
