The spr<strong>in</strong>g season is described as April through May when <strong>the</strong>external temperatures are still relatively cool and <strong>the</strong> occupant controlled w<strong>in</strong>dows are notnecessarily open every day. The summer season is considered to be June through August, but <strong>the</strong>extreme heat <strong>of</strong> August 2003 was omitted from <strong>the</strong> table data set. The fall season is similar <strong>in</strong>operation <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> w<strong>in</strong>dows to <strong>the</strong> spr<strong>in</strong>g season, while <strong>the</strong> w<strong>in</strong>ter season assumes that all <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>w<strong>in</strong>dows and vents are fully closed.
